I'm delighted to see the end of comment scores, and if they are restored, I think i will hack HN for myself to remove them when I read comments. I like having the community filter articles, but when it comes to a discussion, I like reading the arguments and deciding for myself. Scores do influence my expectations around what's important and what isn't. Besides, there is already a filter in place for really bad comments. If something isn't at -5 or so, I really ought to give it the benefit of the doubts and read it.
