Although I hate "me-too's", I strongly agree as well.  However, I am a
little less certain than everyone else as to why a negative vote cannot
REQUIRE comments and justification.

I am not sure why we cannot try to build in some type of weighting if a
negative vote has no useful information as to why this negative vote was
issued.  To me it makes such a vote rather meaningless and arbitrary.
Negative votes should be constructive criticism or they can be a serious
condemnation of the entire activity.

Thanks.
