This is great. I honestly hadn't given the downvote thing much thought. The bit about promoting discussion really hits it home. Tell me why you don't like it!
It reminds me of restaurant reviews. I eat at Chili's pretty regularly, and if you pay on the little tablet kiosk thing (Ziosk?), it wants you to complete a survey. If things were great, I do the survey. But if they were bad, or even just fine, I skip. I've heard too many tales of disciplinary action being taken on non-five-star reviews, which just kills the whole point. Do you want my honest opinion, or do you want a yes-man?
Back to the piece, it's a great write-up. Though I do want to point out that you used "apart" instead of "a part" at least twice. ๐
But don't worry, the XMPP article linked at the bottom has way more errors.
Ah! Thanks for pointing that out I'll be more cautious in that regard
