Articles: upvotes for things I read, or things I want to comment on (because of the flamewar weighting.) Occasionally I'll upvote an article that doesn't fit these criteria, e.g. because it is important but I don't have time to read it right now (it then appears in my saved articles list, for later.) Comments: I upvote comments that teach me something I didn't know, or which are particularly good rebuttals to parents, or if I came to say the same thing. I downvote intolerance (of people, ideas, languages, etc.) and poorly thought out/obviously flawed assertions.
