I was originally skeptical about point removal. That's valuable information. But now that the site has been this way for awhile, I think it's a net win. It feels like people were using that information for bad purposes -- voting with the herd, voting to get a comment where it "ought to be" rather than just voting up or down on merits, and so on.
If comment scores were to return today, I'd feel bad about it. At this point, it feels like my comment scores are private, and generally nobody's business.
