Because people aren't worried they're being downvoted for poor communication skills, they're worried that they'll be downvoted just because people don't agree with their opinion.

What people disagree with is voting replacing discussion in an up./down single tap form of communication of what has come to pass for discussion on reddit. Voting up and down has replaced discussion skills in some "other" website.
You really must be kidding on the upvotes indicating better discussion skills. Look at some of those topics, the first twenty comments sometimes are entirely about memes and have nothing to do with the original subject.

I am for downvoats and I am for removing the fact that you have downvoated from the profile. Everything seems designed to be very similar to that other site in form but in function there are a lot of little hidden mechanics dissuading people from having opinions.

Because every time I comment on something related to /v/jailbait, I get downvoted. Use a reply to disagree - it really sucks to be near "unlimited upvoags" only to get knocked down.
Forget about SJWs and international conspiracies. We can't even have a bak-and-forth without the place turning into an echo chamber.

I've just created a sub at /v/pleadyourcase for users who feel that they have been unfairly mass downvoated or silenced and had their posting and voating privileges throttled to plead their case and have the community give them a second chance if it is warranted.
It's a bit empty now, but I saw a need for it, and if it becomes popular maybe it can act as a bit of a sponge for users who want to constantly complain about being unfairly downvoated.

Good luck, and I say that in the same tone I'd say it to someone who just announced they're pregnant with triplets.

Paradise would be a place where people shut the fuck up about up and downvotes. No "Why doesn't this have more upvotes?!?!" no "Why am I getting downvoted?!?!" no "I know I'll get downvoted for this..."
Just. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER WHAT PEOPLE USE UP AND DOWN VOTES FOR.
