I will typically upvote comments that elaborate, translate (DSL>English), or opine with corroborating evidence. The last I will try and do regardless of direction. I especially will upvote where one person offers a well written comment and another offers a well written rebuttal. I will upvote both as I want to promote what I consider a “healthy” discussion. I will sometimes downvote based on (poor) form irrespective of content. That’s because there’s always a way of getting your point across with being a jerk. Given that one can make a point without being a jerk, the choice to be a jerk is therefore a gratuitous attack in the person, and whether you’ve also attacked the substance becomes almost irrelevant at that point.
