Have you up-vote someone you disagreed with today?
noodle: i do not up-vote comments i disagree with.  however, i also do not down-vote them.i only down-vote the irrelevant/spammy/obnoxious responses.  the responses that don't add any value to a discussion.this way, if someone says something unpopular or whatever, they're not penalized (by me, at least).  they're just not really rewarded so much, either.
