I've been begging for the dislike button for forever. It's too much like facebook here sometimes. People need to know!
I'm pretty sure everyone knows, not like we hold back here, lol

I bet you would have gotten lots of dislikes for this post.
Don't give a shit

Was that so hard?
I think my point earlier was, its easy to follow the herd. Personally I don't have a problem if that's a "like." Where it bugs me is some Facebook-y bullshit passive aggressive "dislike."
"Like" is an easy, passive yet affirmative, "yeah, I agree" thing; following the herd is easy.
"Dislike" as a button is for pussies in the context of this discussion. Just, again, my two cents.
Last I checked, most here aren't followers.
Note that I've done it twice here with you, without a button (and, for the record, I like and respect you a whole bunch, just completely disagree with you here on this issue).

I would use it mostly for Nortatoga and Truebeliever anyway. There isn't anyone else who I normally would dislike their posts on a regular basis.Was that so hard?

It was a joke.

It's a joke.
In a seriousness. I would like it. I use it on YouTube all the time in comments. It lets people know that they are wrong. I don't see it as pussy at all.

I get ya.
I just see this as way more interesting and productive than a series of statistics.

Yeah, I understand where @Willjr75 is coming from, but I definitely agree with @BDinPutnam in that if you agree with something there is really no need for redundant statements affirming that unless there is another point to be made off of the original post. However, a "dislike" option would be the easy way out for someone who cannot actually articulate or otherwise make an actual argument (which we all know you value) as to why they disagree. Which, honestly @Willjr75, I am surprised you'd be for. I mean you like arguing and honest discourse is the way we all work things out and come to understand one another. So why short cut that with a stupid dislike option?
Marine Cpl

It works the exact same way with the dislike. If someone else articulates why you're wrong, why should everybody articulate the exact same reason why you're wrong.

Because that builds an opposing argument rather than just piling on the dislike wagon. Agreeing with someone, be it through the "like" option or through supportive posts is easier to do than straight up disagreeing with someone, because unless someone directly calls you out specifically for agreeing with something, you don'y have to defend it. When you pose a counter opinion you have to defend that position. It takes work and an educated stance. The dislike button circumvents that obligation to articulate your position.

I see it the exact same way but none of this matters since it ain't happening.

When do we get to start voting people off the island?
This is just plain stupid and I'm closing it.
