Do you use the thumb down button?
Be honest:is it because
(a) You disagree with the answer
or
(b) You don't like the poster.
I myself don't use it unless it is really needed (trolls)
Same as the report button.I don't see why people find the need to use it through spite.

secret agent0:and here is the rest of the dumb idiots slithering out of their diseased holes of sexual immorality to back you up. How many people have you just condemned in that one sentence.
Keep up the slander, it really shows your true colours.

Only if I really disagree with the poster. It is never in a personal manner like I think a lot of people do on here.
I always give thumbs up to the people that answer my question as they have taken time to answer it, unless they are downright abusive or rude and then I just ignore them.
I dont report people for the sake of reporting them. I think that is truly pathetic

I have used the report button twice. Each time, because I thought the answer was offensive/ not suitable for young people, or just downright rude and offensive.
If I think an answer is from a political activist who is trying to score points, I give it a thumbs down.
If I think an answer is well thought out and is a serious answer to the question, I would probably give it a thumbs up.

Never use the thumbs down, never use the report button, I see no point, I have my own idea about what I think is right and wrong in the world. Posters on here will not change my views on what I believe but they ae free to try.
If dont agree i will reply and tell them so, if they are abusive, then they get abuse in return.
Everyone has a point of view, I see no point in reporting anyone for having a different point of view to your own.
My only action which I feel a little guilty about is blocking posters who ask questions about the mcthingemybobs but i just dont see that they and myself have anything in common which could hold either of us in a conversation.

Because I disagree with the answer - I have found that I disagree with some posters on some issues but agree with them on other issues - Kamran is an example. I genuinely don't hate anyone of Yahoo, I would have to know far more about a person than just their opinion on a few issues to hate them and even then I don't honestly think I hate anyone.

Once I answer a question, I look at the other answers if any and respond in a manner that is acceptable to my own interpretations.
Criteria, Offensive to ANYONE, Racist, totally off the mark and just rude.
I personally try to answer all questions in a pertinent way.
Trying to help the asker deal with whatever issue they are having.
If it's a general question, I try to answer factually.
If I believe the question is idiotic, I'll say so.
My answers got bounced twice because I said that.
If I find a question interesting I'll star it, and give my objective opinion.
That's just my code of ethics.

I wouldn't use the thumbs down because of a divergence of opinion, but I would if I knew or could prove it was factually incorrect, or worse still. deliberately misleading.
I am free and easy with my thumbs up though!
The report button I've only used for a couple of spammers. Doesn't seem much point to use it against trolls and extremists - they'll only set another account up and come back.

I wish they would get rid of these silly buttons, it only serves to get peoples backs up and at the end of the day you don't get a point so why bother...

Makes no difference to me whether I like the poster or not if I agree with them, I thumb up their answer. I do occasionally thumb down some answers when I strongly disagree.
I have used the report button for extreme personal attacks or for questions and answers that sound perverted in reference to children.

I have used it once in the last month or two. Sometimes even for me some bad language is intolerable
