Downvotes meaning "I disagree" contribute to groupthink, no?



I think the moderation system in use on HN is inferior to moderation systems seen on some forums as far back as the turn of the century. I am not a fan of it (see my profile page) and don't like it in the least.

I think it's better than having nothing at all (no up/down at all), but that's not saying much.


I wanted to downvote your above post just for the delicious paradox of it, but that profile page made me reconsider ;)
