Who else gives an automatic Thumbs Down...?

    I sometimes do this. If you can't answer in a short and relevant, non-preaching manner, I get a little offended. It doesn't really effect anyone, and it's a lot nicer than reporting people.

    I do too sometimes. I don't come on here to read a book and if I wanted a 3 paragraph answer from Wikipedia I'd go there!
