Bring back the downvote

Using their brains is deterring for people who go around senselessly spreading hate anyways, so no button = less hate
Sure it's not in anyway noticable, and the hate that's left over is certainly more noticable but.. Wow, I've just contradicted myself...
Give the monkey what he wants! It's a matter of efficiency! Keep the hate discrete! Fight the powah! I need to sleep.

You think getting rid of the down-vote solves anything? No. It does nothing but encourage someone like myself to post a comment that would honestly be (much) worse. And one can make the argument that by ignoring their profile you're now subtly down voting it because you don't care enough to click a button. Congrats, the problem is still there.

You accomplish nothing by leaving just the positive side other than being stupid. If you remove one, remove the other. You're just participating in circle jerking which is just fucking dumb. Just pick someone's house and have your group compliment orgy already.
