..everything in sight.

Why do you do this?

Join in the conversation brothers and sisters, have your say with words, not up arrows!

I await the inevitable backsplash.

I'm a simple man. I see a post I likes, and I upvote.

I feel personally that down arrows are the greater enemy. Upping means I agree. Downvoting without a comment is just chucking a paper dart from the back of the class.

Indeed. It allows the stupid to signal displeasure despite not having the wits to say why.

It diminishes us all

Sorry my post was probably badly judged. I actually agree with you. I rarely down arrow but when I do it’s in response to a post that probably doesn’t warrant or need a written reply.

The only reason I find them useful is as an indicator when I click on to the forum - I tend to look at those with an up or down arrow before those where the response is neutral.

No need to say sorry, I assumed you were just joking around!

Agree.
Many here do jump down the throat of the few do I can understand why some refrain.

Nowt wring with being a tall poppy. Speak your mind. Be polite and actually consider what's behind the words rather than jumping down someone's throat.

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

1. Time, lack of.

2. Some people not bothering to read properly what you've actually written, esp when you've made an effort with a long & serious post.

3. Incredibly rude or childish responses from some people when you've made an effort as above.

I dont often say much. Often I think I will say something but then decide it's not worth it because;

a) I may have spelt something wrong or my grammar may be incorrect
b) generally there are some very petty people on here
c) people can be quite rude and aggressive and I know I will be shot down. Face to face it would be different and I cant be bothered typing the reply required.
d) people can be quite obtuse/argumentative on here
e) it can be quite cliquey on here

i understand that , but you down voted the o.p. when you often have a go at posters who down vote your posts without joining in the thread.
