Well, let's put it this way: you're always free to use your downvote, since it's yours. I never do, as I realize its effects can be taken quite seriously (as I know I would take them). But ultimately it's up to you what you do with yours. Still, I would recommend you to give an explanation for your downvote, because not knowing how I deserved it would bother me more than the loss of rewards.
