@divegeester saidTrue - the issue is with you not being able to ignore thumbs.
My issue isn’t with me trying to ignore thumbs.

@suzianne saidTwo sources.
The abuse and the blight in the forums comes from one source, the same source who wants thumbs removed.
@suzianne saidIt isn't a matter of me being abused; it would bother me if you went after me mainly
You are playing directly into the hands of those who already abuse you in the Spirituality Forum on a many-times-per-day basis.
They already have you believing their "they down-thumb the poster, not the post" baloney. This is remarkable Stockholm-syndrome quality nonsense coming from you. You are agreeing with them and their propaganda that site users can't be trusted w ...[text shortened]... cisions. You, taking the side of your abusers, insult every user of the forums on this site. Nice.
@kellyjay saidUmmm, ... okay, ..... but what has that got to do with thumbs? @fmf for example wants the thumb feature removed from the site completely. That would not change anything whatever about the level of abuse, insults, put-downs, self-serving trumpet blowing, virtue signalling, or noise.

because, unlike some of those, all they deal out is constant abuse; it is just noise as
far as I'm concerned. The attitudes, the insults, it is just expected. I'm more shocked
by a nice thing said than something horrific, which is the norm. If all you ever get
from someone is an insult, ...[text shortened]... esn't rise above its source, and for some, it is a low bar that
hardly ever has some rise above it.
@moonbus saidAnonymous thumbs don't change anything about the stuff you're referring to either.

@suzianne said[1] When you get a large number of thumbs, do you feel it makes you look "bad"?
He just doesn't want any of the "untouchables" making him look bad.
He doesn't want to have to pay for the nasty stuff he says here.
@moonbus saidBut doesn't a situation [where the recipients of red thumbs cannot see them] completely undermine the argument that the purpose of anonymous red thumbs is to send a signal to those who receive them?
I have no objection to offering users a display option which would leave thumbs as they are but render them invisible to those who think they are childish.
@suzianne saidIf what you say is true, feedback to the website will surely result in those doing this being banned. Red thumbs are going to have no effect on the alleged "abuse" you are talking about.
You are playing directly into the hands of those who already abuse you in the Spirituality Forum on a many-times-per-day basis.
@suzianne saidSeveral people, including you, have admitted that they thumb down people because they dislike them even when it has nothing to do with the content of the post.
They already have you believing their "they down-thumb the poster, not the post" baloney.

@moonbus saidI was responding to something said, I'm asking for this not because of anyone else,

If you would be satisfied with an OPTION to reveal who gives thumbs, that would be a much le ...[text shortened]... cal proposal than fmf's, but don't expect all of the people who disagree with you to out themselves.
