		vacri on Oct 18, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Courage To Say ‘I Don’t Know’ Downmods on HN are supposed to be fine to be used as an indicator of disagreement. It's blindingly daft, but that's the official position.

Even if the official position was against using downmods to show disagreement, it'd not be enforceable. As soon as a large enough group starts using the "disagree" button, almost everyone would follow the trend.
