    Fair enough. I suspect vote scores are a key influence over the way people perceive a comment before they’ve properly read it, so I disable them wherever possible. That way there is less possibility for my opinion of the quality of the comment to be influenced by something other than its content.

      Yeah, that’s a fair way to do it if you find it works better for you. I find the vote scores a good indication of how the community is behaving - or being brigaded - and I always evaluate them in that light. It’s like if someone says something in a crowd and the reaction is either “woo” or “boo” or “…”, you can use that to read the room. I like vote scores for that reason.
