Do you cringe at the number of people who give thumbs down to good responses?

I kinda wish there was an option to say *why* you gave it a thumbs down, I think that would help prevent them from overlooking the whole answer. There've been times when I've only disagreed with one part, and had to do a thumbs down because that one part was so off.

The other thing I hate is when an asker gets twenty, well thought out answers to a question, and then picks the one that disagrees with the rest, despite terrible grammar and no logic, because it was what they wanted to hear. Sometimes I wish we could give askers a thumbs down.

That might be my number one pet peeve with Answers, is that good answers get thumbs-down and crap answers get thumbs-up. Especially if it's a factual question that has a right answer, and the right answer gets thumbs-down because it's not what the asker wanted to hear.

I get the sense that sometimes, people skate through and assign thumbs fown for no apparent reason, and it incites people to get angry and vindictive. Others give negative answers to stop another answer from being "best" or because they don't like what that answer says, whether or not it is accurate.

i cringe even more at the number of people that give thumbs up to blatently racist responses. i saw one really horrible one with FIVE thumbs up.

Yes, I can't stand it when people give thubs down to good answers!!!!!! They're just Haters.

Yes...there are lots of trolls on Y!A.
