You can disagree
There are Like votes, and Disagree votes. Disagree is not a downvote; it's just disagreeing. You as a blog owner, can also use Bury votes to move well-intended but not so useful comments like "Thanks" and "Me too" downwards. The bury votes are invisible, so you won't hurt anyone's feelings.
