IIRC we first had this conversation about a month after launch. Downvotes have always been used to express disagreement. Or more precisely, a negative score has: users seem not to downvote something they disagree with if it already has a sufficiently negative score.

Thanks for the prompt answer. That's an interesting detail. I think I was around at the time of these discutions.

Anyway, the question I wanted to explore is if the fixed karma threshold for downvoting (100, IIRC) does not risk becoming a problem when a larger population (and less active on average) becomes able to manifest disagreement this way or if the threshold should be a function of the average karma of the active population.
