As someone else pointed out, you are likely to get disliked if you are outspoken. I have gotten votes of dislike when I posted my opinion. It served as better feedback than some of the redundant posts where insults are hurled back and forth because someone took something out of context. When a bunch of people disagree with me, I think it's time to look inward and reconsider my opinion. This forum is great for that, it's informative to hear others' opinions and points of view. When one person hits the dislike button... meh. As far as the concerns addressed on the OKC post, we all have the private message option. If you're going to post on a public forum, you should be thick skinned enough to ignore a dislike especially when it is obviously absurd relative to the topic being discussed.
How does a "dislike" button make a forum more informative? Without a dislke button, if you don't agree with a post or simply dislike it, the only way to express that, if you are so inclined, is to state your case. Now that can be informative. Simply noting that something is disliked doesn't inform anyone very much. It's the back-and-forth of a lot of discussions that provides a lot of information and stimulates thought.
I think the dislike button evolved into a big prank here on BHW.
Why doesn't facebook have a "dislike" button? My guess is that it's simply bad for business, for whatever reason.
You can still have your own "dislike" button. It's very simple.....copy the post and type: "dislike", if that's what you want to do. Problem solved....everyone is happy.
I agree with what I highlight in green....so in other words, u have to shoot rainbows up someones azz and like it or post your true feelings,.... all this over getting a dislike buttom removed how many wussys are gonna get mad when they hear what I actually have to say rather then me just simply disliking something LOL... git ready git ready git ready... lol the party is just about to start
In any case, Dave and Gail seem to agree that it wasn't a real good feature.
Be careful what you wish for people the "participation" may increase but you probably aint gonna like why...
Its happened to me more then I have pushed that dislike button and then when you tell um you don't care to read all the bs defense they come back with.,.. out come the tears and Im sure PM's to Gail and Dave... because some people can't stand that someone doesn't agree with them all the time they will try to drill their point into you and when you tell um that aint happenin they are all butt hurt again.... its a vicious cycle that some can't take.
I don't tattle, I just text and pm all my buds: did you see what that a-hole wrote? And then we laugh and laugh and make up funny nicknames. It's great.  | |

You can't assume everyone who presses the dislike button is a coward. I've pressed it when there were several other dislikes and what I had to say was already said by others, instead of posting the same thing over and over.... I just press the like button on the posts I agree with instead of just posting "agreed" a bunch of times and press dislike, along with several others, on the post I disagree with. I can see where someone would get their feelings hurt when someone presses it, but the op doesn't know why. I just think they need to get over it.
Cowardice takes many forms. "Like everything I have to say or I'm gonna cry" is one of them.
This has become a perfect analogy for life in America nowadays. A vocal minority can get their feelings hurt and cry about it so now everyone else has to change. | |

I'm sorry you felt targeted. I've never used it that way nor felt targeted when someone dislikes something I post.
I can understand how it would get annoying when someone follows you from topic to topic just to press dislike and never say why. I never did that.
I should have worded my reply better. I, too, would rather know why someone dislikes what I say. I just don't feel strongly enough about that to take away their option to simply dislike what I say. Someone usually posts why. I just assume the disliker is either posting the opposing opininon or agreeing with it. I don't assume they're a coward (or whatever else you want to call them) for not agreeing with me, publicly or privately. That's their right. Or, it was before they took away the dislike button. | |

I can actually "see" several "haters" sitting at their computers "foaming at the mouth" because they can no longer "anonymously" torment their TARGETS......
Don't waste your time worrying about people like that. It just gives them power over you.
