Anamax, you are missing the point. He doesn't care about any of the ancilliary effects that come as a consequence of the down voting... but the person who is clicking on the links clearly does see some worth in the "sniping behaviour". That behaviour points towards the reverse of the cultural norm that most people think of when they think of HN.
