Grandsiozzie: That is nicely said but only apply if you know who "they" are.
Here it only looks bad and the ones who do like you may say nothing cos thumbing is not their thing anyway, so basically back to square one. There is only one solution and that is to ask cs to get rid of it as it's only negative. What good to thumbs do? Childish at best.
I would have said the opposite. The fact that we don't know (or care) who they are or why they disagree would cancel any significance their thumbs might have.People hiding in the shadows pushing the thumb can hardly expect to be taken seriously. I expect they haven't enough brain power to express an opinion.

why caring about thumbs up or down, just be yourself.

Decent_Love: why caring about thumbs up or down, just be yourself.
I totally agree. This is a Social Media Site. Who cares anyway? If these people that make these multiple threads up day by day, spend some time doing something constructive, like keeping away from CS for a day then they may feel betterlaugh As I'm a Northener, here is Paul/Lily may he/she R.I.P. aged 67. I don't think he spent much time on CS rolling on the floor laughing

Wow! I cannot believe all of these tiny little minds!

Here it goes. I will explain it to everybody, once and for all:

Thumbs up: "I like it."
Thumbs down: "I don't like it."

Did I really have to say this in public and explain it to y'all?!

Shalom,
Iyyov

Let me correct your post, as youre not really seeing it as it is. More often than not these days it's like this....

Thumbs up, I like the poster.
Thumbs down, I don't like the poster.

The likes and dislikes are quite often nothing to do with the content of the post they're reacting to.

The anonymity aspect of the thumbs in general and the thumbs down in particular is clearly quite divisive, it serves no positive function imo.

I take as if it were a grain of salt. Semi newbie. C.S. folk will do what they want when they want. It is a free site as comments are expressed or taken. Up to whoever that finds disagreements or just to bust one. IDC. I want more emoticons.

Dunno. But the first time I've noticed "thumbs" was when somebody created a thread about it a few years ago. If not for that, I still would be unaware of the feature.

Why does it bother you?

Interesting comments regarding the "thumbs", and thank you to all who have recognized the negativity. I'm really doing well not taking it personally--and, awhile ago, a very nice (but sadly, ill) lady member on here was getting "thumbs down" for virtually every post she commented on, and her outlook was bright, optimistic, and encouraging to everyone, in spite of her own sorrows. Mean people suck. Period. A good adage, coined by Dr. Seuss:

"Always be who you are because the people who matter don't mind, and the people who mind don't matter"

I get where you're going with this, but there are some very nice, but frail people who are hurt by this completely unfair insulting--the "downer" gets to be mean anonymously. That's cowardice.

pedro27: basically, the thumb downers want to hurt your feelings
I cannot see the harm in it . Either a person agrees to whatever you have written or they. Disagree. Jmo.
