Pondering out loud… is the thumbs feature a form of psychological torture? A psyop within a psyop? A way to leverage division of the mind?


Hmmmm… it apparently works on some level.

Hey Stan--nice visit a few weeks ago---yeah, I guess you're right about the 'thumbs' feature. But some of us (CS) have been discussing it lately, and it really doesn't do any good to try and figure it out--like I said awhile ago--it's cowardice--the 'downers' get to be a bully and hide...best to just not let it interfere with the script and conversations we're having with decent people. Annoying--yes--but it seems it's going to go on, so just ignore.....handshake

p.s. Out to the wine country on Thurs. with a good friend. We stopped at Umpqua Lighthouse Bakery Cafe--what a groovy place (I had been there only once before) then on the way back to the bay we ate at "The Rose" in Drain--another way cool place. Do you get out to these places? The Elk were out in large colonies--many with calves. Nice, nice day. tip hat

rohaan: 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.
Well... how frail one has to be to feel hurt by this barely noticeable icon?

Anyway, here's a few suggestions how to deal with this huge problem:

1. Lobby the moderation of this site to remove this feature.
2. Find anther social media, there participants cannot hurt your feelings in any way.
3. Regard everything that comes from internet as a compliment.

Perhaps, you have your own advice on the subject, please, feel free to share it. Or to keep it to yourself, as armor against "thumbs down" that are only yours :)

I agree thumbs up

I never noticed it until that old Irish guy made a thread about it a while back conversing

It went on and on and made me cringe, to think that a grown man felt so mortally wounded by an icon on a website.

I mean seriously roll eyes

I do. I just recently discovered a little place in Reedsport that has really good coffee and the best waffles! It’s right by 38/101. Heading down your way next week, but not sure which day yet.

Been thinking about The Boat lately… not sure why.

Not everyone is as strong as you or I...but I absolutely "get" the gist of what you're saying. I've already given my advice--ignore those pesky downers. It was a suggested topic on here, so I gave my two bits.....the moderators have been lobbied by many CS members already--I don't need to find another social media, and yes, regard everything as a compliment. Thanx for your concern.....tip hat

The Boat is owned by friends of mine. They always get five stars on their Fish N Chips--funky little cafe, too.....best.....let me know what day you'll be in town---if Wednesday, go to downtown Farmers Market---handshake
