On: Poll: Should HN display comment scores?

[benwr]

I think that would be more polarizing rather than less: You would have an incentive to vote one way or the other, even when you feel the comment deserves neither.

We could add a "+0" vote in addition of +1 and -1 votes to solve this problem.

A neutral vote ("I don't want to vote") should definitely be present, since many users don't have the ability to downvote (e.g. myself).
