in thread Encouraging comments for downvotes

You're right, of course, but I still feel that the votes should go for/against the quality of the responses, not the questions.

But, then again, to disagree with myself, and support your tongue-in-cheek first sentence, isn't a good question that stimulates constructive discussion, and exploration of perl-space a good thing, perhaps worth voting for?

    Well, yes, we all have ideas how others should spend their votes. But what you think should happens isn't what seems to be happening.

    Does that mean that questions that don't get responses, that have responses that aren't constructive, that are FAQs or off-topic should be voted down?

      Oh no, voting down questions is not what I meant. Just up-voting the good ones.
