Yeah, I suppose I could have said, 'This has been suggested by me.' But I wasn't that interested in staking a personal claim on it. I really just want the ability to downvote in a way that will be acceptable to this site. I'm not even that concerned about the ability to slide comments, or punish people points-wise.
Why do you really feel as if you must downvote? I suppose I would like to downvote something if it is not true. That would be cool.
Yes. I think quantifying disagreement is a good thing. I don't want to suppress other opinions, but I do see value in the group's agreement, or disagreement, being visible - and not simply as counter-arguments in the comments.
What I'm talking about is not something unnatural, I don't think.
