I have a problem with HN voting conceptually, compared to Slashdot - on Slashdot, you were supposed not to downvote a comment that you disagree with. The purpose of upvotes and downvotes was to facilitate discussion. On HN, the policy seems to be - if you agree/disagree, upvote/downvote (although I am not sure it's official, that's what I have been told, I may have been trolled :-)).
- jnbiche 12y agoI too prefer your the Slashdot approach, and there's quite a few of us on HN who vote in that way. However, since there's no official policy on that, it can go either way (even though PGs writings seem to strongly support your approach).
