RE: Although subjectively downvoting posts to zero is anathema to me, the Layer 1 ability to do so must remain (for now at least)

FREE upvotes to counter the FREE downvotes.

I do not think FREE is a correct term for either so I do not think I can conclude anything useful from the formalism.

Just cut [XYZ] in half.

Why would you do that? If XYZ was harmful, zero would be the better value. Otherwise, why not nerf it to three quarters or 0.31?

    In the original system, your UPVOTE bar could be used up by UPVOTING (OR) by DOWNVOTING.

    You could choose to DOWNVOTE but that would reduce your total available UPVOTE.

    After HF21, a FREE DOWNVOTE bar was added, so you could DOWNVOTE with NO PENALTY.
