Dangit! Who keeps doing the thumbs down? I don't know why, but that thumbs down thing is really bugging me lately. They obviously have no sense of humor. 😉

I say eliminate the thumbs down button. All we really need is the thumbs up. If someone doesn't like a post, then just don't thumb it up.

It's probably being done by someone who gets a kick out of people like you saying "that thumbs down thing is really bugging me lately".

Are saying I'm inadvertently feeding a troll? 😉

To say that the one thumbs down you are getting from one person over and over again is bugging you is like a textbook case study of giving a petty person exactly what they want.

The thumbs down is less significant than in the gladiator days, fighting in the Colosseum.

Well, it's not the thumbs down on my posts that's of any concern to me. It's just the overall use of it that bugs me. If someone doesn't like a post, then all they need to do is voice their disapproval and give a reason. Using a thumbs down is like making a frowny face like a pouty baby.
I can see using thumbs ups and downs if we were taking a vote on some issue, and anonymity was the rule. Otherwise it seems rather trite.

There you go again. Serving up the very pleasure that the thumber seeks.

The thumber will just love all this angst she or he is extracting from you. Mission accomplished, I'd say.

Ah ha! You're the thumber. 😉

Angst is too strong a word. Annoyance would be better. The one with the thumb issue has the greater angst. Hiding behind a thumb can't be very fulfilling.

And you're still at it. All this attempted condemnation is precisely what they are after. 😉

Huh? Why would you think so?

And apparently you are too. You love that word don't you? You spend too much energy judging other's motives.

You feel I am condemning you?

You seem to know why a troll trolls all to well. You seem to know what the thumber's motives are.

Are you the "bummer thumber"? LOL
