Hahahaha! That's a nice argument (on vandal). Not a valid one when you ask me. The musician goes in a similar direction. Great arguments! Let's go in this direction. !invest_vote

From my perspective the point is that the rewards are distributed from inflation. It's neither vandalism nor theft nor loot when someone's reward is diminished. It's more like stating: I don't like this store, I don't like this musician, and it's not only that I dislike them, but I'm not going to fight for their right to commerce. (You remember this Beatrice Hall statement that is said to be by Voltaire?)

In other words: I don't want to see more of the content that I downvote. (And as I've said, I downvoted only once or twice so far and only for reasons of abuse not whim. But I like to reflect on the means of downvoting.)

Let's stay logical. No window smashed! (Thinking of Bastiat)
