What are "Thumbs Down"¿

The post that was quoted here has been removed

Thumbs up are for those that need reassurance, thumbs down are for rebels and those who disdain rejection!

Thanks for your reply. What would be the equivalents of Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down offline?

my dog never seems to notice his lack of thumbs...

People who leaves tbums down are like people who leaves such crap behind themselves...

I think there should be a third option. Let's call it a "one finger salute."
That would be better than any thumb. 🙂 It would be highly used in debates. 😕

Why not just post your approval or disapproval?

That's what the thumbs up/down are for... to show approval or disapproval.
And the only reason I'm saying this is because I'm so bored right now I'll respond to almost anything.

Hows about showing an entire hand? As if to say, "talk to the hand". Again, I'm so bored right now I'll say/post just about anything.

Why? Because they're cowards, pussies, sissies etc.. 😉

The point is in the security of an anonymity.

I once tried giving one of my own posts a thumbs down, but it wouldn't let me. So we can know for certain the identity of at least one person (for any given post) who did not give a thumbs up or down. Unfortunately this is where the process of elimination begins and ends, and anonymity remains secure for everyone else.
