The only time I ever give a thumbs down is when someone writes a 57 paragraph response. I just don't want to scroll through all that, so I give it a thumbs down so it goes away.

I either like or don't like what they have to say. If they make a good point or do a really good job answering the question, I give a thumbs up. If they don't actually answer the question or say something stupid or offensive or rude, I give a thumbs down.

I'll give thumbs up to an answer I agree with or think is real clever. I don't give thumbs down just because I don't agree with something, but if the answer is real ignorant, close minded or wrongfully hostile I'll give a thumbs down.

One thing is for certain in the Yahoo "thing." It is waste of energy to get bent up on how people rate your answers. I have given answers that I know I am right (due to the fact I get paid to do the things they were asking in real life) and get many thumbs down. When everybody gets to vote, regardless of their knowledge or expertise, the whole rating system is useless.
When belief is involved, the only time I give thumbs down is when someone is clearly being abusive or stupid. Otherwise, it is just an opinion. I give thumbs up when someone explains their position very well, regardless of his/her opinion and regardless of if I believe the same or otherwise.

I usually give thumbs up based on whether its an intelligent answer that is productive to the conversation and thumbs down to statements that are not constructive.

I give thumbs up for convincing answers, I hardly give thumbs down, and it's only if the answer is really offensive to the questioner... we're still human beings with feelings after all.
Peace.

I TU a good answer.
I generally only TD when I notice all the atheist and pagans have thumbs down even if they are agreeing with the Christians, just because they aren't Christian. Then I admit my temper gets the better of me.

I give thumbs up because I either agree with the person, if what they say makes sense or if I find it funny.
I gives thumbs down to blatantly false answers, undermeaning comments or comments I really -REALLY- disagree with (usually illogical or irrationnal reasonings).

I rarely give a thumbs up or down to an answer. And then only if it is especially stupid or insightful.
