relative voting—disagree; if I want to state preferences in terms of what a posts karma should be, not in terms of what direction it should move, that seems to me like a reasonable thing to say.
re: don’t belong on lw—sure, but commenting to say it needed a summary is honorable. in general I think it’s slightly dishonorable to downvote without explanation if you push a post further below zero, and I make sure to comment on posts I heavy downvote with an explanation of what would have changed my vote. being reviewer #2 is bad enough, I don’t want to be reviewer #3!
