But at least it allows people to express the negative side of things. In the absence of negativity, we users are only able to express ourselves given the available functions that remain.
How about writing a negative comment you moronic modern scum. The downvote is a tool for the majority of moronic modern scum to attack the non-moronic minority without having to explain themselves.

I might just end up going back to arguing on USENET to avoid all this gamification, if it's still there...
