I completely agree. There is far much downvoting purely based on 'i disagree' even if the post brings up some interesting and valid points. It makes you think twice before providing constructive criticism. Why not just remove the down vote altogether? Have a 'flag as unconstructive' or something. I'm not even so sure the upvote should only be for things you agree with. If someone makes a good point, even if you disagree with their conclusions, I think that is worthy also.
