I really like it, honestly. IMO it's made discussions much better. If there are chuds we can always just dunk on them in the replies and wreckers get banned anyways. But at least this way people don't get to just "downvote" any opinion they disagree with, preventing any sort of chilling effect. It's one thing that really makes this place different from :reddit-logo:. And you can tell which opinions are "controversial" cuz those'll have less upvotes and more replies.
