I think down votes should be used on comments that don't add to the thread and for posts that are not appropriate for the subverse they are posted to. Not for showing disagreement with a comment or post.

Generally this never happens though. If someone disagrees, they will downvote. It's too powerful to think "this opinion is bullshit, I want to hide it." Even if it's directly relevant to the discussion.

Yeah it might be disagreement, but it's also a chance for people to say, this should not be rated as good a story as this other one, or that it's not newsworthy.
