Thanks, Tim. I think there's definitely room for the comment that
takes a different tack or points out something the writer might have
missed, but doesn't necessarily violently disagree. That's certainly
the type of comment I encourage :-)

Heh...violent agreement. How would that look?

"Let me agree with you or I'll stab you in the face!"

Personally I do find myself commenting on people's stuff when I disagree slightly more often than when I agree, though not overwhelmingly so. Sometimes I just want to add my two cents, or point out a different angle or related fact. Which is sort of like disagreeing, I guess, if you want to take it that way.

Never saw much point in the "Rah Rah" type comment either, as I'm sure others don't, which may skew the results.
