I can easily see the point of an upvoting cabal -- you'd use it to get your stories onto the front page. And you'd only need five accounts in order to do that quite successfully.
What's the point of a downvoting cabal? To allow you to severely punish comments you don't like? Sounds petty even by internet standards. And if you do manage to get a comment down to -4, then I notice that comments in severely negative territory which aren't obviously awful tend to get rescued anyway.
