True, but there is the very real possibility of people seeing a ton of negatives at the bottom of the post, and not reading it at all because of that. There is also the possibility that people might make the system 'personal', like downing theists every time they talk about their beliefs.
Also, people might start using it as a mere 'I disagree'... and they might not explain the reasoning behind that. Kudos is there so that people don't have to make filler 'I agree' or 'Well written' fluff posts...
A thumbs down would be to say 'I disagree' or some other form of 'bleh', with no explanation behind it. Then a person would ask you why you disagree, and it would only end up creating a ton of off-topic fluff posts. I don't think i wrote this last bit very well :S I now what I mean to say, but I seem to be having difficulty saying it
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
