How to show your dislike

Just press "like" for the poster immediately after and before.
Or press "Winner" for the one who totally disagrees with that poster and affirms your own POV.
One suggestion is press "Like" or "Winner" or "Agree" for every other post except the poster you dislike. Then that poster will really know you dislike them and are talking absolute rubbish because they don't affirm your view of things!
The games people play to either avoid penalties or just give snarky asides amazes me. After 18 months on here, nothing surprises me. God loves His children no matter how childish they can behave.

A "dislike " button would be more direct at least.

I've seen forums with dislike buttons. It becomes an absolute popularity contest...

Really? I've never seen it before.

There's thumbs up and down on plenty of other sites. If I dislike a post here, I either respond to it to explain why I dislike it, or I just move on to the next post.

So if someone responds to me, and doesn't press "like" , I can assume they didn't like my post?

Yeah. Basically whomever takes the unpopular view gets like 15+ dislikes. Then no one wants to take the unpopular view.

And getting to know people personally to see how they tick is another good way to find out how to bother them, ha.

that is a tragic human flaw isn't it. Using what you know about someone, against them. Then all that person realises is "I'd better clam up, and never show my weakness." Just so sad. It's like war.Wear your armour to protect.

That would be a mighty paranoid assumption to make. Don't know why you'd think that from what I wrote. Some folks aren't into fiddling around with the likes and whatnot, they'll just respond to a post if they want. I think you're doing just fine here, don't sweat it.

No. I'm just having fun really. There are people like yourself who are straight shooters and I like that.

I think a "dislike" option would be bad. I really don't mind anyone liking someone who disagrees with me.

There are many unreasonable people in forums. I wouldn't dislike a person for simply disagreeing and stating their reasons why. But there are people who would....

The "dislike" button would discourage disagreeing and a forum who generally agrees on one thing would be bad for diversity of ideas/topics. Before long, we'll see a huge drop in attendance.

Of course not. I know it could be said I am reading too much into this. Still the element I describe exists now and then.
