But removal of the downvote button wouldn't solve this issue. If we would just ignore the opinions we don't agree with they will just disappear down at the site as do downvoted now.

As much as a downvote should be used to mark useless comments an upvote should be rewarded to useful comments. Both buttons are misused as disagree or agree buttons.
