people should feel comfortable posting their personal opinion without fearing a karma backlash
People shouldn’t be downvoted for the fact that they like something and recommend it in this thread, but that doesn’t argue for suspending any other downvoting reasons.
“Please avoid downvoting; this is a thread for sharing subjective experiences, and people should feel comfortable posting their personal opinion without fearing a karma backlash. If you disagree with a person’s recommendation, please post a comment to that effect.”
Please avoid downvoting recommendations just because you don’t personally like the recommended material; remember that liking is a two-place word. If you can point out a specific flaw in a person’s recommendation, consider posting a comment to that effect.

Well that’s why it says avoid not “don’t”. :-P
Seriously though, what do you think better wording would be?

Edited. Thanks.
