No, it's not. Downvotes are not for opinions you disagree with.

I agree, but will never ever comment on this (in a thread, where I'm downvoted).

The worst is being downvoted for the dissemination of fact, ideally supported by sources.

Some lesser smart members of this fine forum seem to even downvote comments like this if they dare to go against the party line.

Then again, and as the moderators outline correctly, it's often auto-corrective and I, for one, upvote comments, which are unfairly downvoted. No matter their merits.
