Out of curiosity, do you (personally) downvote either comments that you disagree with (e.g. "We should all be using DNSSEC for better security"), or comments that are factually incorrect (e.g. "Heartbleed was caused by incorrect use of null-terminated strings in C")?

(I assume neither of these are inherently flag-worthy assuming they're made in earnest and not egregious).



I try not to downvote disagreement, except when I feel like downvoting will keep me from writing a boring disagreeable comment.
