I also look at who's posting.The same names comes up. I'm all for liberty of speech but getting downvoted for being annoying is deserved.

I read every comment in a thread. I disagree it is being "silenced". The comment is still there for all to read. If someone is too lazy to click and read it that's their fault.

No matter the anger or WTF that a comment creates within me I do not down voat. I simply do not up voat except for comments/submissions that I feel are worth of some consideration no matter how unpopular. I admit that there are times I have been tempted. And I feel that some of my comments and submissions may have been brigaded but that's life on the internet. Bullies and hate seem to go hand-in-hand.

Fair enough. I guess that's a honorable route to walk. But I don't view voating as good or bad, just a tool.

What about in a scenario, where you see a virgin 0 shill comment, that you know could mislead someone, cause infighting, or hijack a discussion? Would you not want to protect the community then?

I view all virgin 0 comments as fair game for public consideration, but something that has downvoats makes me more critical of the content, hence the use when necessary.
