I don't agree with the framing of downvotes as a "stick". Downvotes and upvotes are voting where stakeholders want the rewards to go. Where stakeholders agree, the rewards flow, where stakeholders don't, the rewards don't. Sometimes, as with all decision making processes, this can be a bit messy and some people will sometimes get upset when the outcomes don't match what they would most prefer. This is unavoidable when there is any sort of collaborative decision making, but any stresses shouldn't be extreme in most cases, or alternately, adults generally learn not to be overly stressed when they don't always get their way.

Also, as voting is a method of identifying and reaching agreement, we don't need to determine or suggest any labeling of intention. A downvote does not imply bad intention, only disagreement. A lack of downvote may indicate agreement, or perhaps just neutrality. Any of these is okay, people are entitled to have different opinions or similar opinions or no opinion. 

Best to you James, glad you decided to stop by after all this time.

Thanks for the welcome back!  I get what your saying about stress.  I live by this idea: how much stress we take on is ultimately our choice.  More to my point, this maxim reminds me of the complexities, risk, and costs of development and also applies to the complexities of sorting out truth from lies in the presents of free speech:

> **No one is bound to give information about things he is ignorant of, but every one is bound to know that which he gives information about.**

I don't expect anyone to get that right all the time.  It is easy to loose track of assumptions and, how do you know what you don't know?  I'm still catching myself on something even after I really started watching my own mind with distrust.  I think this maxim is on topic here and sets a healthy boundary and encourages learning when one is ready to learn:  Also, here I'm taking responsibility and I welcome the competition to do better.

> **He who contracts, knows, or ought to know, the quality of the person with whom he contracts, otherwise he is not excusable.**

So I'm having good interactions with Dan N and Kenny and all this has been very interesting..
