....I should also add, If there could be a way, I think the community should have a right to "downvote" the downvote if the community believes that the downvote was unfair and unjustified... maybe there could be some sort of an appeals process to a curating team.

Everyone can downvote freely, and no one should agree or disagree to that person's reasons. Now if you are receiving the downvote, and you know you've done nothing bad, than that sucks. But nothing can prevent abuse, without actually removing your freedom to downvote.
IIRC, it was @dan's idea to implement somthing like that, and it not being adopted was why he left. I am sure there were other contributing factors.
