so I have a question regarding ppl who seem the need to go around thumbing down?

Wow I have never seen such animosity to a question and anybody who answered it. To all of these people who did these thumbs down heres the finger...

<^>

This finger is also for the report monkeys flying around here...

BTW welcome back to the land of the living Slave hope your able to keep this one a bit longer.

EXCELLENT.

Once again, I agree with PrintNinja's philosophy.

It's not the Question, but the person and/or affiliation that is so hated.

I have never seen so many TDs.

My only regret is that I came online too late, 8 hours later, to be in any way competitive.

I believe that I could have taken you all in the "Most Hated" TD category.

When you mention "thumbs down" in a question, it seems to summon all the thumbs down fairies. All who answered this question received more than the usual amount of thumbs down.

Those who have "the need" have no other power in their life, so they seize it where it is available.

So sad, yes?

sometimes, i get spiteful and thumbs-down all the fundies. it can be theraputic, especially when i see a lot of good answers with a lot of thumbs down.

Yes and for the record I am not associated with those other monkeys. I give a thumbs down only if the answer is in very bad taste or completely wrong and the question is one that a wrong answer could be somewhat harmful. I do however collect thumbs down, I'm halfway finished wallpapering my livingroom with them.

Personally, I only thumbs down people who are giving inaccurate info to people asking legit. questions. meaning, if I know for a fact that the info you are giving is proven to be false by means of a medical journal etc. you will get a thumbs down. I DO NOT give a thumb down on opinoin questions, poll questions, or questions that I myself do not know the true meaning of. I think that's fair...

ADDED: NICE all the thumbs down given to everybody answering this!!! set up or what???!! If I really cared, I'd say screw you.. but..haha, I don't

I do notice this. As i've pointed out on another occasion, i could answer a question purely unbiased and honest, not swaying someone towards wicca or away from god, and i will get a thumbs down from the fundies merely because i don't share their same religion. It's like they have no scruples or heart. Now THAT'S what i call judgemental.

Just ignore them, a thumbs down on YA is small potatoes to the going ons of everyday life.

when I get lots of answers to a question I give thumbs down to the ones I know I'm not picking as best, because then the minimize making my job easier maybe thats what your noticing

I've learned to love the jeers of the crowd, I laugh at them.

I wish they would give out worst contributor badges, I want one.
