Downvotes are just a way to influence opinion and silence people without having to having to offer a counter argument. They pretty much exclusively benefit the libs because they are more numerous, but we are more well read.

Honestly, I only use downvotes either when I am too tired for a counter argument or when someone is acting like a lost cause and not caring about anything that I say.

What have you been doing with reactionary comments until today? Do you just report them?

We relentlessly dunk on them and then ban them. It's a lot funnier than a downvote could ever be.
