They give thumbs down if they don't agree with your answer, pure and simple.
It doesn't cost you anything in terms of points, so don't take it so personally. Everything is going to offend someone.

People give thumbs down for a few reasons. If they think the answer is any way rude or saracasti, if they disagree it was the best way to address an answer, or if they feel they were right. I only gave one thumbs down when it was a factual question and the person picked an answer that was flat out wrong. I'm a science teacher, knew the answer cold, and they went with osmeone who gave a dumb answer from the movies. Sheesh!
As for your, someone may have thought there's was better, or maybe it was a service guy at a dealership who wanted to soak them for more money!

there you bypass H! they arrive from human beings like Worstans who purely haven't any thoughts! lol so pay no interest. i in my opinion want yahoo ought to do away with thumbs down and in ordinary words have thumbs up! it must be a much extra efficient position. Then human beings ought to must have a strong verbal arguement as to why they don't love ones answer. it ought to carry forth extra perfect debate. contained in the intervening time, that question became very alluring, I regarded at each and each and every position that folk were from, and it made it on extra of a personal aspect. by no potential thoughts H, about the thumbs!

A thumbs up or thumbs down rating is an opinion. A thumbs down on your answer is someone saying that for whatever reason, they did not like your answer. It could have been something that they disagreed with or it could have been they did not like the way you said it.
It is not abuse. You do not lose points for a thumbs down, you only get points for a thumbs up. Why are you letting it gt to you?
Opinions are like a certain part of your body, located where you sit. Everyone has one, and most are full of "stuff"

It is only an opinion and not always a good one..
Sometimes I think in their zeal to get points people simply rate questions without even reading them.
I try to read the answer and read the askers comments before I rate the answer. I put a lot of weight on the askers satisfaction.

No you cant report them, you cant even find out who it was.
some people give thumbs down because their answer was not choosen.... it's not fair, but it happens that way.
Some just want a point for rating so they tumbs down every thing with out even reading the question or responce.
I am sorry you were a "thumbs down" victom, however that is how it's played.... not always fair, but still it's how it works.

they gave you a thumbs down because you were the one who got the points instead of their answer being chosen... don't let it bother you , you were right- the person chose yours... no there is no way to report / or even know for sure who gave you the thumbs down... some things in life we just have to let go...lol

naw you cant but some do it because they were either upset because their answer wasnt picked or because some just always click thumbs down because they hate life. but i dont know how that would effect anything because when someone gives me a thumbs up or down i still get a point because they voted.

I wouldn't let it get to you. They are jealous you thought of it first. You can go to his q&a page and report abuse on things he answered or asked. I'm sure you are the bigger person.
