It's how HN has always worked, and in my opinion needs to. A site that cares about discussion quality needs those white blood cells.

Thanks for sharing the threads. I always think that downvoting is for discouraging bad arguments from DH0 to DH3 [1] (for discussion quality as you mentioned). Now I realize that even convincing arguments at DH6 can be downvoted as long as one disagrees with it.
