| Apr 28, 2016 at 17:33 | comment | added | Katherine Villyard | @Alex Answers with more upvotes have a community consensus that they're useful. That's more than the opinion of just one person. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 12:37 | comment | added | sysfiend | @joeqwerty we can start a quite long discussion here on whether opinions should be respected or not but it has nothing to do here. Anyways, I've been consulting StackExchange communities for over a year now and I always felt that answers with more upvotes than others appear to be better (wheter it is because of it's content, explanation or final result) so, I see votes as something more than just opinion. | |

Users should be free to freely express their opinions with downvotes and comments as they see fit so long as they aren't personal attacks. Why should that free expression be moderated or dictated? | |

| Apr 28, 2016 at 9:27 | comment | added | Sven Mod | Downvotes on meta are mainly used to indicate agreement or disagreement. Your three downvotes mean three people disagree with this idea. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 9:27 | comment | added | HBruijn Mod | Votes on meta are used to indicate agreement (up) or disagreement (down) | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 9:26 | comment | added | sysfiend | I get that voting is an opinion, but opinions can have better or worse arguments. For example, I already got two downvotes here just for the fact of asking, how can that be fair? | |
