Why isn't there a dislike button?
Not trying to be negative but it would sure save time

Truth is: It would start wars between members. I think a dislike button would be fair, but I guess the Mods are afraid ( with reasons ) that it could create rivalries between members.

Besides, OS, it might take away the pleasure of RIPPING apart every word and slowly roasting the member over the coals that goes on now.

oh dear, i'drather not. i don't see the point of the "dislike" button on youTube, it just seems to be for the convenience of trolls.
Life is a hideous business, and from the background behind what we know of it peer daemoniacal hints of truth which make it sometimes a thousandfold more hideous.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

positive reinforcement......
Why be negative?
I think the reply comment alone can show if someone likes or dislikes the comment....
People like to b**** to much as it is, making a simple button for someone to b****, without having to explain why would suck......
I dislike this idea.....

I think people have a hard time proving any factual basis for their beliefs so they get defensive and they take any question as a direct challenge instead of just giving it some thought.

Yeah, Sak is right.

i would rather see a big fat liar button. although that would probably get way overused in this forum.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

I use ignore without hestiation. That is good enough for me.
Using "Dislike" would be a mere power-play. We are not supposed to be having power plays in these forums.
You have total control over the comments you read already. I don't read everyone of them. Do you?

I think it may end up being personal rather than just discussion.
I fear that some people would "dislike" a post because of the poster rather than the content.

Just because it is a mystery to YOU doesn't make it unexplained.
