Poll or Survey: Why do people get upset about a thumbs down?!


Question: I don't let it bother me. It used to, but now it does not. I'll explain my side but I want to hear your thoughts, this is a legitimate poll or survey if you will.

Some people have a thing for thumbs up or down. No big deal really. I noticed once when I got a Best Answer that I had 8 thumbs up and 4 thumbs down, however, total points received was 18, ten for the Best Answer plus 8 for the thumbs ups. The thumbs down did not affect the total points received.

So all a thumbs down does is show that someone did not like your answer or they did not like you, or that they are trolls playing around.

If you show it upsets you, then they have won because that was their goal, right? If you do not show it upsets you, then they lose their power (which is all in their heads anyway) to bother you.

So I wonder, if a thumbs down upsets you, why do you let it bother you? Does a thumbs down ruin your day?

i don't mind the thumbs down.....

........but being accused of a thumbdowner....

.....is another thing.....

They take it personally

It's an ego thing....

It used to bother me, too. I just figure people have the right to voice their opinion and that is one way of doing it. I try to think of it just for fun.

It bothers me only for a split second. Why? Because it shows ignorance. If you don't like my answers you either A. Don't have a sense of humor or B. Are ignorant.

Doesnt bother me at all...I never take anything personaly on here, thats just silly..

Good morning Bluto!
After my suspension, nothing bothers me anymore! I don't understand why I was so uptight regarding "thumbs down". Hi, my name is Clo, and I survived the "thumbs down" troll without any relapses yet !!!

For realz dog. Why just the other day, one of my answers received 11 thumbs up and 11 thumbs down. It made me feel special even if it was just GCG and 4x4 being a couple of homos.

i never mind a couple of thumbs down, but when i get like 10 for 1 question then that upsets me a little. it doesn't ruin my day though :)

you can't sit on a thumbs down

Definitely NO

I don't, i heart the thumbs, up or down, i'm just here for the attention

It makes me want to jump off a bridge. And I would do this, except then I couldn't get to play this fine game anymore. So I deal with my sadness with pills and booze.

It doesn't ruin my day. Sometimes they actually make me laugh.
But when I am hormonal and PMSy, they bother me a hell of a lot more than they should.
Just being honest.

well, when you have a stalker and gives you a thumbs down on every question you feel like kicking someones *** ...

in a nutshell it drives me crazy

You are correct sir..and I tend to agree.

Incidentally...Yahoo! is fascist sympathetic.

i dont even find out if i got thumbs up or down never check

I really could care less

they dont bother me, I like to go back and look if I have them just so I can have my bragging rights

thumbs down are pointless- just like you said so it doesnt upset me at all I just like to have fun with it

It doesn't bother me anymore but I don't like to see my friends get them. I'm protective over them and I don't like @ssclowns messing around with them like that. Mornin Bluto. ?

cuz' it's down

I guess it's like someone sticking their tongue out at you. Childish, uncalled for, shows a lack of intelligence. That's my best shot without getting psychoanalytical.

And thumbs down used to bother me when I first started, now I could care less and wear them proudly.

Good morning Bluto!

they make me chuckle, especially when i know who the are from

the ones that drive me crazy, and where i see the most are on the
Poll: hot or cold type Q's
what is the point in that?
I answered a Q last night, asking how many hours of sleep i get.

i got 2 right off the bat....who care about how much sleep i get enough to even bother clicking.

ahhh, thumbs down to all! :)

i usually dont make it past level one these days so it doesnt really matter to me- i love getting thumbs down because it means those people suck more than me

I don't let it bother me, good point!

No they turn me on...may I have one please?
good morning bluto:)

There was a time when thumbs down used to upset me. they were actually the first bad sign before my 7th level account was suspended. someone was thumbing down / reporting every single answer of mine. When I made my second, third, fourth account... thumbs down were the sign that I was discovered again.

However, now I don't care anymore. I was away from months (one day I just decided to leave because this place was affecting me too much)... I just came back to have a little fun. During my departure I realized how easy you can forget about this place and that, in fact, you can always make another account... it's not such a big deal about getting suspended.

it bothers me just a tad little bit firstly it looks bad secondly thumbs downs were inverted for people who were being rude, racist, abusive not for people who were just stating there opinion's and to be placed in the category with mean, racist, abusive people is just not a nice feeling....and especially when you've taken your time and written a nice long answer stating your thoughts...its not so cool but well people will be people... =)

It doesn't bother me. I just come here to have fun and people have the to love and answer or not. Love, honey

I DONT Know but i would'nt fancy any int Coloseum in rome` would you`?

it does not generally bother me. definitely does not ruin my day. but i do think that it is pretty crappy of someone to go through and give everyone a thumbs down, just because they can. i answered a question "when is your birthday" and someone had given everyone a thumbs down! that's stupid. there is no wrong answer to that. i only give it when the answer given was mean, rude or just amazingly dumb. but, overall it doesn't affect me much.
