Spiritually speaking, have you ever regretted giving a "thumbs-up"?

By the way, I'm giving everyone on this thread a thumbs-up, no matter what they say. This means you too, Fireball!! Free thumbs-up for everyone! :)

Update:

Every now and then, I go a little crazy and just start thumbing up responses on a thread, without reading through them properly.

Or sometimes they start out sensibly, but end up spouting some kind of total nonsense, and I'm clicking like mad on the "down thumbs" button, to try and take it back. "Noooooo!!!! I meant down! I MEANT DOWN!!!!"

Is there any way to change it once you've clicked? Or do you just have to accept the karmic consequences of giving the wrong thumb direction to someone who just didn't deserve it?

All of this asked in a spiritual sense, naturally. ;)

    Yes one time I had to give Lightning from the East, God is in a good mood, and Fireball thumbs up because they actually gave an answer to my question actually answering my question (though I still didn't agree with them)...

    Thumbs down is for whilst i think of somebody is being completely ridiculous or downright rude and insulting. If people don't get a `thumbs down` for promulgating racial hatred, we ought to assert, people will look on the respond and think of that I and all of us accept as true with or have got here upon no insult or undesirable feeling interior the respond. that does no longer look stable to something of he international and makes us all look heartless or detached. the countless rubbish spouted out in this section is disgusting to assert the least and to enable it pass `unthumbed` could be morally incorrect. Now, reporting is a diverse be counted. I one hundred% have confidence in freedom of speech, yet I even have had the main harmless solutions bumped off with the help of the religista. How approximately, "sure somewhat" as `no longer an answer` ??? EDIT: a minimum of in case you have become thumbs in any direction, you know people are analyzing what you're saying, despite in the event that they don`t like it.

    How I miss being able to give thumbs up and down. After 3 Level 7 accounts being axed I am no longer deemed worthy to use my thumb option. Sniff sniff.

    I try to at least get the jest of what the person is saying before I thumb em. Ha ha, thumb em.

    I SO know what you mean. It still smarts that I gave the infamously anti-Catholic Chris/CJ/David a thumbs up about a year ago. Doh!

    You just have to live with it.

    Great question, by the way. ;-)
