i miss a +1 button

    It's absence is a big advantage. We're not a social network with
"likes". We don't need a bunch of argumentless "voting"

It's difficult to keep track of all these disparate, unstructured votes

    There is no need to track them.

GitHub added +1 and -1 buttons

    GitHub is a social network so it's natural for them to add "likes".

(If I could have +1'ed Abdur-Rahmaan's e-mail, I wouldn't have written this
response.)

    That message was rather bad in my not so humble opinion -- it was
just "I want my +1 button" without any argument. Your message is much
better as it have arguments. See, the absence of the button work!

    We're proposing and *discussing* things here not "likes" each other.
Write your arguments or be silent.

The number of people who have the same argument is also a factor. I would rather have the argument once with 15 +1s than 16 posts all saying the same thing. A "like" on an argument means "I agree" -- which is valuable information to have.
