I can't believe this is being downvoted? I hope it's not due to disagreement (which is already a pretty stupid reason to downvote, FYI). But the comment also contributes to the discussion - or at least it does more than an anonymous downvote does - so there really is no reason for it to be downvoted.
I have canceled out one of the downvotes, hopefully there will not be a great many more.

Obviously the uparrows aren't only for applauding politeness, so it seems reasonable that the downarrows aren't only for booing rudeness." ---pg _You_ might not like it, but there it is.
- deciplex 12y agoI was already aware of the pg quote when I made my previous post. I stand by my assertion. FWIW, I have the same opinion of upvotes expressed merely to signal agreement.
