- chc 15y agoLack of topicality is not the only good reason to downvote a question, even if you don't believe in downvoting things you disagree with. For example, "M$ SUX" is clearly on-topic and even echoes sentiments found in many other comments here, but it is unproductive and essentially just trolling. Worthless comments are probably a bigger danger than off-topic ones. (Not commenting on the grandparent — just arguing against what I see as a common misconception.)
