I'm well aware of all that, but with all of the intentional unjustified downvoting that goes on around here, I'm happy to burn some meaningless internet points calling people out on it from time to time.

Downvoting for disagreement is allowed, but I still think it's a dumb policy. I upvote people I disagree with all the time for moving discussion along with pointed questions, so it's saddening to see people downvoted or be downvoted myself merely for holding an opinion contrary to the hivemind. Not because I give a flying fuck about internet points, but because it reflects poorly on the community and its capacity for debate. But then again, I think upvote systems are dumb to begin with.
