Hmm you raise an interesting point. I do agree that it's helpful to explain to someone why they're being downvoted.
An experimental feature might be to allow downvotes only if you reply, or else you can choose to down vote a comment if you also upvote a response to the downvoted comment.
Never heard this idea before. Some food for thought, indeed. Simply for its unique approach, people should keep this idea in mind when talking about down votes.
I think this idea is absolutely brilliant. I would love a platform that would force some level of accountability on those who put down other people's perspectives.
