I don't agree with him there, because unpopular opinions should still be expressible. The downvote allows you to suppress opinions that you don't agree with which I don't think fits with the spirit of discourse that a good community should have. If someone says something inflammatory, suppress it. If someone says something you don't agree with, disagree with it.
- pests 11y agoI agree. Is it time we move on and form our own opinion about the use of the downvote as a community instead of always deferring by quoting pg, whilst whose values and contributions are obvious, has only posted 1 comment[1] (and no submissions[2]) since his last active day 475 days ago?[3] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=pg https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=pg [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=pg https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=pg [2] I do not know however if he reads or still votes on HN.
