There has been some controversy over this issue the last few days, so I'd like to make my point of view clear, to avoid any misunderstanding.
1. I don't use thumbs up/down based on liking or disliking specific people, but on the specific answer each time.
2. I only use thumbs down when
a. I have a strong disagreement with some answer, regardless of the person, and regardless if it concerns a personnal opinion. For example, if an answer is in favour of the death penalty, which I am against, I would thumb it down, even if the person is my friend
b. I think teh content of the answer is scientifically wrong (if for example someone says that a kitten should be given cow's milk, I'd thumb down, because I know it gives them diarrhea).
3. I don't necessarily answer the question myself. I may give thumbs up and down in one question, without answering. Thus, it is normal that there are more thumbs up/down than answers.
Do you agree?
