Because to me, they seem like de facto "Agree and “Disagree” buttons, whether or not it was the intent.

    That’s really interesting, but honestly I think I like the simplicity of upvote/downvote better. It seems like it would take a bit of tuning to get the Slashdot system to work as intended.

      Well, the simplicity of the upvote/downvote buttons are what also cause the drawbacks of people using the system as “Agree” and “Disagree” buttons. I’m a solutions oriented guy. Everyone always bitches and moans over what the problem is, and nobody ever suggests solutions.
