Ooooh, Thumbs Down, I'm so hurt, how will I ever survive.

lol the tags will be bad

Why need anything at all? The whole thumbs up and down thing is kind of comical though. I didn't think anyone paid attention to it.

I'm hyper-observant, and am near idetic memory for patterns. I pick up on this kind of stuff by nature.

If you have an eidetic memory, shouldn't you be able to spell the word?

lol - just messing with you...

It's cool. I freely admit to being a terrible speller

That's not how mine works though, have you ever taken one of those tests where there are like four or six squares, some are colored in, then there's another one and one box has changed, and then another, but its in a sequence and you have to predict the next one. I can do that with boxes that have up to 400 squares (as far as I've been tested so far) and as little as 20 different moves to create a pattern. I can't remember the questions to my SAT's, or LSAT or other standardized tests, but I can tell you the exact pattern of my answers on each one of them, even over 20 years later. I drove six miles today to the grocery store and back, the lights were red, red, red, green, red, green, green, green, red going there, and green, red, red ,red, red, green, green, red, red on the way home. I can also do that with the lights on most of my drives all the way back to my driving test for my temp license, 25 years ago.

Anything that appears random to most people but has some sort of pattern to it, it gets stuck in my head. Even statistical things, if it seems random, but isn't, I'm quick to pick up on. So a change in the number and frequency of the down-votes, while it doesn't bother me a bit, I'm quick to pick up on the frequency of them when they change. To me, the sudden upswing in downvotes might as well have been a giant flashing sign saying "Hey, look what I'm doing."

I'd like to see a horizontal thumb for all those who couldn't give a shit one way or the other....

Seanchai, I'm joking.....

No, but 20 years from now I'll be able to close my eyes and remember ever detail of it.

[Dino Velvet]

Can I put my wiener in that thing? Could give a loving massage or grind my bacon up really somethin' awful.

[Teydyn]

Is there an option to disable the like/dislike line for me?

IMO its unnecessary bloat.

[ed_jaxon]

JPH how do you do at BlackJack?

My only worry are new users who've started to contribute after the voting system was in place. I don't think it's conductive to new user retention. No matter the quality of their posts, their downvote ratio reflects that their contributions aren't popular or that they generally aren't welcome to post.
