While I like being able to pick out things quickly, I find that displaying comment scores tends to encourage a herd mentality. It's subjective, but ever since the comment scores have been disabled it seems like there are a lot more diverse viewpoints being expressed. Also I might just be weird in this regard, but I find being "scored" on the things you say to be sort of creepy. I like feedback, and that's difficult to convey well on the internet, but turning ideas into popularity contests seems perverse to me.
