Thumbs Down???
I am surprised at all the "Thumbs Down" I have been seeing lately. I can understand when the answers are rude, but sometimes they are perfectly acceptable answers. I have also noticed that the answers with the most "Thumbs Up" do not always get awarded the best answer. Does it hurt your feelings when you see a lot of "Thumbs Down" next to your answer?

It's pretty obvious that certain people just go through and automatically give every answer a thumbs down. They must be really bored. It really doesn't bother me if I get thumbs down but I usually don't see it because I don't often go back and look at my past answers.

Well, I think this is a great forum for us to voice our opinions on any subject, no matter how trivial. And if I disagree with an answer, or think that there is no thought behind it, then I give it a thumbs down. If I think its funny or entertaining, chances are I will give it a thumbs up. And if someone wants to do the same thing to me, that's their prerogative.

Everyone needs a hobby and apparently some of the trolls entertain themselves by giving people "thumbs down."

It used to, but after I saw that 92% of my answers got a down, even for answer that did not merit a down, I gave up.
my biggest thrill was when I got 9 downs and the Best Answer reward!

My ID is Ms. Dell XPS and I am pleased to respond.
Whenever I give an answer, it is always 100% correct. If I cannot make certain of a correct answer, then I will not even try to answer the question, no matter how desperate I am. This is a unique individual. I am very phenomenal. However, because my answers are always perfect, no kidding, I always receive my thumb downs. Not just once, twice or 3 times, but numerously.
How do I feel? To be completely honest with you, I feel proud of my answers. I feel guaranteed. And when someone thumbs me down, it only reveals its jealousy. My suggestion to the person who thumbs me down would be " Wait to see who is chosen as best answer. "
