Downvotes sadly are endorsed by pg (the owner of HN) for use to indicate disagreement.
Flags are not downvotes and are not to show disagreement. They do seem to get used that way.
I like the others above have show-flagged enabled. "90%" of things I vouch are things I disagree with that represent what I consider a point of view that deserves to be known, has been at least reasonably well presented, and isn't flame-bait.
