Spiritually speaking, do you miss the thumbs down button?

I know I do.

Update:

Oh, and the thumbs up too.

Update 2:

Mine says "useful" "informative" "I agree" and "amusing". No thumbs up/down. I guess I just must be special.

Update 3:

Ok, cleared cache, restarted, now I have thumbs up/down again. That was WEIRD. Thumbs up to all!

    Thumbs down is for while i think of somebody is being completely ridiculous or downright impolite and insulting. If human beings don't get a `thumbs down` for promulgating racial hatred, we could say, individuals will look on the respond and think of that I and all of us trust or have got here upon no insult or undesirable feeling contained interior the respond. that does no longer look stable to the the remainder of he worldwide and makes us all look heartless or indifferent. a number of the rubbish spouted out in this section is disgusting to declare the least and to enable it flow `unthumbed` could be morally incorrect. Now, reporting is a diverse count. I one hundred% have confidence in freedom of speech, yet I even have had the main danger free solutions bumped off via the religista. How approximately, "confident a splash" as `no longer an answer` ??? EDIT: a minimum of in case you're turning out to be thumbs in any direction, you recognize individuals are examining what you're saying, whether they don`t like it.

    Thank goodness for getting rid of it. It's been a long while since I have been on YA, so I hadn't noticed! But at last, the stupid thumbs up and down is GONE, and good riddance! Everyone should have the right to speak and say what they think within the guidelines and rules of YA...without being severely critcized and impugned by a few people who take it upon themselves to be the moral conscience of the forum. In fact, there used to be two or three people who would dominate this forum with their impudent thumbs up or down - those whom they agreed with would get the thumbs up and everyone else the down. It was a stupid idea to begin with putting thumbs on here.

    I, for one, am glad it is gone and I hope so, forever.

    I do miss it. Strangely it doesn't show up only in Mozilla but its still there in IE so if i want to thumb down an answer i could use IE. Y!A would be much boring place spiritually speaking without thumbs down button.
