Why do you downrep?

I myself downrep sometimes when I find things offensive, or contribute to little if anything, although I believe we all are prone to bias, and can downrep someone simply because they have a nickname such as "IamaBeleiberJustinlove4U"

Bias? Its basically a blend of experience and prejudice... I believe NONE is without the least bit of prejudice, simply because its linked to the way we learn, racists and such should of course practice the art of "unlearning" from time to time, we all should, but in particular racists and nazis.

To make trolling invisible to,me on threads I am otherwise enjoying.

Thumb down.

It does that?

You learn something every day.

Could you please repeat this post, as I have downrepped you and can no longer read it.

Sure. Here ya go

I find it fairly easy to ignore people whom i consider offensive, so i don't vote on posts--except, of course, when it's the Wabbit or Lordy.

Seriously, though, i consider this a tempest in a teapot matter. There is at least one and maybe more members who go through the threads each morning (morning in North America) and vote down every, consecutive posts. Meh . . .

Take that!.....(furiously presses the downrep button while making pyow pyow noises)

Dayum! Where did I go, and why am I sitting in this handbasket?

Blissfully unaware of the now deleted Roger's post, I now turn my attention to the herbal viagra pop-up and try to remember where I left my credit card...

I seen it! I seen it! It was right here by the downrep button a minute ago.

I can only see the downlib button ... I want a downreb button, too!

That's because you bought one of them thar Ree-publican keyboards.

I'll ask my demkey service to change that ...

I don't. I only thumb up.
