- dctoedt 16y agoUpvoted only because I agree with your comment about down-voting. I do wish PG would separately display up-votes and down-votes.
- gojomo 16y agoI agree with your political point, and I downvoted it, because it injects an unnecessary political element to the thread. The OP is worried about thieves and hasn't mentioned cross-border travel. The best comments will be directly responsive to that request, rather than inject another tangentially-related politically-charged sentiment into the thread. Your comment was ranking above other comments that were more helpful to the original poster -- and was at +3 when I voted. (I wouldn't have voted your comment down to 0 -- it wasn't inappropriate -- just less-appropriate than other better comments lagging below it.) I've often suggested comments should have two rating dimensions -- up-promote/down-demote and left-agree/right-disagree -- and some people have said the agree+demote combination would never be used. Well, I would have used it here.
