Why do you think people are so quick to give someone a thumbs down in this category?

I would like to hear everyones opinion on this.

    because not everyone is open minded...and well if it makes you feel any better , you should check travel section -asia pacific-malaysia...People get reported for no reason

    what i meant with being open-minded is that , they won't accept others oppinion that is opposite of their own. or they just dislike that particular user

    This isn't the only category where little trolls go through and

    give thumbs down on most questions. Try the Senior Citizens

    category and you'll see almost every answerer gets a thumbs

    down, just as a matter of course. Someone who has nothing

    better to do but want to aggravate others, is guilty. They don't

    have to disagree with your statement. They just go down the

    line and mark a thumbs down. For most of them anyway.

    Don't worry about them tho. The TU or TD don't mean any-

    thing.

    People let this site run their lives. They think they are better than another answerer and they give a thumbs down. Or they think they are better than somebody. I would say it is because they let this run their life. I have seen posted on here about me from people I won't say not you about me. It was started by a few selected people with no lives, that get mad about nothing. At this point I don't even care about the thumbs up or the downs tell you the truth.

    Source(s): See look all the thumbs down that have come on a question addressing the issue of thumbs down how IRONIC!!!!!!

    I don't know. Maybe they feel the information given is incorrect or they just don't like what they have to say.

    I don't know. Honestly, I hardly ever check out the "local" area here.
