Not really, I would say I take them as intended. I wouldn't downvote something unless it was hateful, bigoted, offensive, bullying or so horribly wrong as to be offensive. [Edit] or spam.

Yeah you might want to re-calibrate there, because you're treating one side of the equation a lot more extremely than the other. If upvote = "I liked that, thank you", then downvote should = "I disliked that, no thanks".

It's a simple, I don't agree with your opinion thing. That's it.

> Not really, I would say I take them as intended. In that case, you either take up votes as “I liked that, thank you” and downvotes as “I didn't like that”; or you take upvotes as "people come up to you to give you oral pleasure", in which case you can take downvotes as "calls you a cunt and punches you in the face".

Same. If I'm not into something, I just scroll past it. I usually downvote if I disagree or hate it.
