while that's true, people will always find a way to be jerks. if people can't be jerks with a downvote, they'll express their jerkitude verbally, which is certainly worse. i just wish we could move beyond the point where a downvote (or a bunch) was enough to emotionally devastate a person-- or where people feel the need to do that to others.
this is such a nice place now, but, then again, so was reddit in the beginning.
