Really, if we spotlight the positive enough, and the negative will
disappear.

No, I think you’re wrong and users need a way to counter spotlighting in
cases like this. Your post is another example of why a post needs an option
to downgrade it. Some people who agree with you have gone and highlighted
it. Now it looks important, even though there may be any number of people
who don’t agree with you. So, are they supposed to try and highlight Jerry’s
post, or this one, to move it higher up the board?

No, you misunderstand.
You spotlight stuff you want to see spotlighted. Spotlight a post of a MOC that
you like, or an event you’re interested in. You don’t have to spotlight a
“counter view”.
If you don’t want my post appearing in the highlights list, what do you want in
the highlights list? Have you spotlighted lots of examples of the things you do
want?
Don’t like my post? Fine. Don’t spotlight it. Then go and spotlight ten things
you do want to see (MOCs, events, whatever), and trust that three or four other
users will do the same... my post, and ‘worst of the worst’ posts disappear from
the main page.
No admin intervention, just the community actually highlighting what it wants to
see!
