Personally I avoided voting on top-level posts at all in the last thread because I think the system is confusing. As some others pointed out there I’d rather upvote interesting posts (in the context of being a thread about unusual ideas) rather than the ones I disagree with.
I tried to avoid voting on anything, because I couldn’t decide how to handle the non-top-level comments. When people go beyond baldly asserting things, and start having actual debates in subthreads, things get muddy.

I think you’re supposed to vote non-top-level comments the regular way.
