Aug 31, 2010 at 2:22 comment added Natalie Adams I'm not understanding the hostility here. Seems like meta is a 180 version of the respected site. In any case, I think there is a "lost in translation" going on here. So, lets say you downvote and are required to post a comment, and its like "I disagree". If X people downvote it, a "Bad Comment" button appears, and people will be able to flag it as such. You can disagree with me all you want, you can only downvote once. The only way I can see this "fail" is if you get a group of friends to downvote me as well. Disagreeing with someone is ok, but not creating a constructive response is foolish.
