I'm a member on another board that has buttons for "agree" and "disagree" for every post, and discussions over the tallies of those buttons get even more heated than the discussions here regarding karma.
If you want to publicly applaud a post, go ahead and do it. If you want to disagree, go ahead and post, rather than hiding behind a disagree button. (And if you are going to own up to your disagree, why bother to disagree in the first place?)
I don't agree with the idea of creating a new outlet for people to get worked up because they don't like the way the results are tallied and displayed.
