What's the most thumbs-downs you've ever received for an answer?

(and what was if for ? )

(The best I've managed so far is a measly 5, for a comment about George Best's alcohol level. )

    Typing

    god is a gimmick to control people

    I think I got about 10 thumbs down for that one... only makes me laugh tho

    I'll probably get thumbs down now for typing that

  • Without any counteracting thumbs up - I think it's 5 on 2 occasions. Edit they were for (1) Telling an animal lover who had rescued a pigeon (it's feathers had come out) it might be OK but if it wasn't a passing fox might get an easy meal - hey an animal lover doesn't want a fox to starve!

    (2) Telling someone that complained about an abusive answer that they were joking.

    I've gotten quite a few every now and again. But then again... I hang out in Religion & Spirituality. So, my highest thumbs down has probably been 7-10 or more.

    But then again, I usually get loads of thumbs up :). I've gotten over 25 thumbs up before.

    People do a lot of thumbing in R&S!

    10 Thumbs down for saying in my answer to discipline a cat by giving it a gentle tap on the nose with a finger and a firm no.

    Anyone would think I suggested beating the cat to death! Geez!

    Over sensitive bunch in the Cat section they are!

    I don't know how to find out but I think it was around 5 for saying something vaguely ambiguous about religion. If you try and face a question on that looking at both sides it seems neither side will approve :(

    I think about 20.

    It was probably an anti-war or pro-gun comment I gave.
