For instance, this is the perfect case for downvote. I strongly agree with the content - individual opinions here are mostly irrelevant - pg is the benevolent dictator and his opinions matter, not ours and he stated already that downvoting as a sign of disagreement is OK.
However, I prefer to disagree adding to the discussion.
I am downvoting you not because I disagree with you but because your statement was somewhat troll-ish. Don't take it personally. We should be nice to each other and disagree in a civil way.
Hey no problem. I agree that the idea is to keep the discussion civil. I didn't mean for my statement to be troll-ish but I can see how it could be seen that way. But the downvote doesn't matter to me personally. I sprinkle up and down votes liberally as the mood strikes and I expect others to do the same. I don't think one needs to deeply think about each vote.
