Meh. I was being half-facetious anyway. I think Digg ruined social media at the outset by implementing comment rating in the first place. It's just automated passive aggression. Either get have both or get rid of both.

Also, a downvote button can only be abused if it's coupled with a comment-hiding mechanism. If downvoted comments are left displayed in their position in the thread, I see no problem. It can be honorable to have a -231 comment in a forum where the community is with their heads fully lodged up their asses.

    Right, but what does karma buy? If karma is just another number, who cares?
