Why do some people abuse the thumbs down?
I answered a question asking for people's favourite singer, and got a thumb's down. When I use the thumb's down, it means "I don't agree with you, think again" So the person who thumb's downed my favourite singer, what was he saying?
Thanks Kiyoshis.. so I've just discovered the world is an ugly, cruel place (lol)
Some of the answers here seem to confuse taste with sense. If I don't have the same taste as s.o. else I don't thumb him down !
But if someone writes a lot of crap about something I've studied, and I'm practically sure he's objectively wrong, I TD him, so that he can have a closer look at his references.

Eh, the thumbs are like vehicle horns. people use it more advantageous to assert "screw you" then they do for the actual purpose. I do from time to time provide an as a lot as people of diverse beliefs that gave a fantastic answer. yet to the ignorant ones...down. To those that did truly sturdy, then threw in a low blow on the acceptable of it, omitted. except it became low adequate to ask for a down.

Some people just do this. Or they latch onto a user they dislike and TD all that person's answers. It makes me laugh to think that someone would waste their time doing that...but someone does it to most of mine. Just think how bored they must be, to take the time to go through all my answers and TD them.
Some people TD every answer but their own. I think they think that people choose BA by how many TU it gets--which isn't usually the case.

Do not take this to heart. That person is disagreeing with your choice, a very foolish thing to do, as choice is personal

He did it so he could lower everyone's chance to be best answer, including yours.
