Meta HN: Automatically Upvoting All Replies

I automatically upvote all non-hostile replies on HN, especially replies to one of my threads. Why? Because I've noticed a lot of vindictive down votes applied to others as well as myself. A pre-emptive upwards tick vote adds a small layer of buffer to dilute the power of a single troll attempting to punish or otherwise derail and discourage innocent, genuinely curious conversation. I also enjoy being generous to folks who take the time to peacefully engage in earnest, even when I may not personally agree at all with their message. Sometimes it's been difficult to adhere to my own personal policy, but over the past few weeks I've gotten quite good at sticking to it. Thank you HN, for being overall amazing community. <3
