Don’t fully disagree, but still inclined to not view non-upvoted-but-neither-downvoted things too harshly:
If I’m no exception, not upvote may often mean: ‘Still enjoyed the quick thought-stimulation even if it seems ultimately not a particularly pertinent message’. One can always down vote, if one really feels its warranted.
Also: If one erratically reads LW, and hence comments on old posts: recipe for fewer upvotes afaik. So one’d have to adjust for this quite strongly.
