What are the pros and cons to down-voting a comment without attempting to support your position with a comment of your own? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-to-down-voting-a-comment-without-attempting-to-support-your-position-with-a-comment-of-your-own <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ah the infamous "down vote without comment."  It's only one man's opinion, but that is behavior I expect from imgur or reddit, not a discussion thread for military members who, I believe, should have the strength of their convictions.  If we disagree with someone's post we should have the courage to state why.  Not doing so is lazy at best, and cowardly at worst.  It also defeats the purpose of a discussion thread.  What say you?
