I am glad more attention is being drawn to this. I posted a similar story a few weeks ago. It's a problem. This site seems to have enough Jr. High kids to turn the thumbs up/down option into a popularity contest.
I rarely thumbs down. I only do so if the comment is insanely stupid and/or insulting. I often will thumbs up comments that I disagree with if they were well thought out and presented an opinion that made me think.
Is it normal users thumbs up/down are biased?
