Voting is an easy way for someone to share their approval or disapproval if they don't have any further comments. I would rather retain voting than have a chain of "+1", "agreed", etc. replies under every comment.
+1

If someone writes a well worded, well thought out opinion that I disagree with what is the proper way to respond? Up vote because it's a high quality comment? Down vote because I disagree? Reply with my own comment? What if my opinion is already expressed in another comment thread already?
Upvotes/downvotes are usually for the approval/disapproval of the comment itself so it would be best to upvote a comment expressing your opinion or write your own if there isn't any.
