why remove downvotes but not upvotes?

Because upvote = ''I would like to know how to respond to this argument'', that way other users see which are the most interesting/difficult arguments to refute.

But downvote can't really be ''I don't want to know how to respond to this argument''.
Because if you don't then you just ignore it.
And there's no reason to downvote for bad arguments formatting or what not because we already manually verify their validity.

Lmk what you think.
