I would'nt really consider that a valid use unless it was really harmfull to the post or violated any of the harassment rules.
The best thing todo in that case is just walk away from the conversation. That said we do expect users to be respectful so i guess it's a toughy.
I also think just ignoring the dickish responses are the best method. In some circumstances, that downvote is almost something to be celebrated. They automatically know that someone saw their dickish comment and got ticked off. I'd prefer to let them wonder if anyone even read it at all.

Alright. I'll just avoid downvotes unless it's spam/abuse, etc., I think. Keep the atmosphere positive :D
