I am all for downvotes, but just like here you shouldn't be able to downvote anyone who comments your comment. This will just lead people to instantly downvote anyone who doesn't 100% agree with them.
Secondly all downvotes should be acompanied by a reason for the vote and those should be publicly visible both on the comment/topic and generally in the profile of the user. This way it would be apparent if someone is just downvoting based on ideology and should be ignored.
