You think it takes some special knowledge to figure out why someone might want to thumb down post after post?
Originally posted by josephwBecause you saying it is bugging you, if anything, probably perpetuates it. To bug you is most likely what it's done for. And yet if it bugs you, surely that means you'd find it less annoying if it were to stop?

Originally posted by josephwSo when you said "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" you were specifically NOT referring to the "thumber". The words "someone" and "they" and "their" and the comparison to a "baby" were NOT references to the "thumber" but were, instead, references to the "thumbing" and not the "thumber"? Are you sure?
Not the "thumber". The "thumbing"!
Originally posted by FMFAll your convolutions not withstanding, I'm just not that bugged about it. In fact, if you hadn't kept talking about it I never would have given it any more thought.

I have things to do now. I gotta go get the bugs out. See ya.
