         Location: LouLouVille, OK | HotbearLVR - 2014-09-18 8:44 AM Nita - 2014-09-18 12:04 AM I disagree with most on here who think the dislike button served no purpose. 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

Exactly. I'd much rather hear why someone dislikes a certain post. Stating one's case is much more informative/instructive than simply hitting "dislike", but if that's what someone wants to do, they can still do it. Nobody learns much from looking at a tally of likes versus dislikes, particularly if it isn't a scientific poll, and one prone to anonymous pranks. Even hitting "dislike" from an identifiable poster can be instructive, especially if it is coming from someone whose opinion on a given subject is widely respected. | |

You're right. I don't actually take it serious for that reason. On the other hand, I don't learn much from it either. I'd much rather know why someone dislikes something, plus I would prefer to know where the opinion is coming from. I've changed my mind on a lot of things because someone made a good point. I can't say the same for anonymous "dislikes". Someone can hit dislike because they don't like the poster....it might not have anything to do with what they are saying. The most important thing to me about BHW over the years is what I've learned from others. Seeing "dislike" doesn't teach me a damm thing. As far as the "like" option, I don't really care one way or the other. Bottom line is this: fundamentally nothing has changed a bit, except now when someone says they "dislike" what you are saying, you can consider the source. You are still free to dislike anything and everything. The only difference is now you own your opinion. I think the dislike button actually tended to decrease participation here - just a hunch. In any case, Dave and Gail seem to agree that it wasn't a real good feature. | |

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 Exactly. I'd much rather hear why someone dislikes a certain post. Stating one's case is much more informative/instructive than simply hitting "dislike", but if that's what someone wants to do, they can still do it. Nobody learns much from looking at a tally of likes versus dislikes, particularly if it isn't a scientific poll, and one prone to anonymous pranks. Even hitting "dislike" from an identifiable poster can be instructive, especially if it is coming from someone whose opinion on a given subject is widely respected. So why not take the like button off too so we can hear why they like it ...and ps... u take life way to serious to have to have it scientifically proven before a poll means something lol... especially when it comes from a open forum... lol You're right. I don't actually take it serious for that reason. On the other hand, I don't learn much from it either. I'd much rather know why someone dislikes something, plus I would prefer to know where the opinion is coming from. I've changed my mind on a lot of things because someone made a good point. I can't say the same for anonymous "dislikes". Someone can hit dislike because they don't like the poster....it might not have anything to do with what they are saying. The most important thing to me about BHW over the years is what I've learned from others. Seeing "dislike" doesn't teach me a damm thing. As far as the "like" option, I don't really care one way or the other. Bottom line is this: fundamentally nothing has changed a bit, except now when someone says they "dislike" what you are saying, you can consider the source. You are still free to dislike anything and everything. The only difference is now you own your opinion. I think the dislike button actually tended to decrease participation here - just a hunch.
In any case, Dave and Gail seem to agree that it wasn't a real good feature. Im sure they got tired of the whining ... and of course I am and always was free to dislike anything I want... I wish I cared who disliked my stuff... truth is.. I don't.. don't care why they didn't like it, if it was aimed at me personally or whatever the reason... I could care less, just as much as I don't care if you like what I say and seeing like doesn't teach me a dam thing either... and I recall several times I have told someone my thoughts and since I wasn't shooting rainbows up their azz they got bent out of shape...
Be careful what you wish for people the "participation" may increase but you probably aint gonna like why...
I am with you....I could give a rat's a$$ if someone likes or dislikes me OR what I post because I don't believe in blowing sunshine and butterflies either. However, regarding the highlighted part....I doubt it.....cowards don't usually come forward.....because then they get their head handed to them on a platter........
or they come forward and then the feathers are allllll kinds of ruffled... lol 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. | |
