To my anonymous fan.

Hm, I never even notice those thumbs up/down or the number next to it.
I read the topic and the replies and that's it. I don't even bother to use the
thumb feature, why would I? If I don't like someone's post I will let it be known
verbally.

I don't put people on ignore for disagreeing with me. I put people on ignore when they are consistently offensive, endlessly inane, or if they start a Colossus thread.

In favor of keeping the thumbs down of a post anonymous is this: By showing disfavor of the post in question with that anonymous thumbs down, the person is avoiding prolonging the friction that exists between you and yet still having a say. They get to vent without a long drawn out word fight.

It's akin to poisoning a neighbor's dog, trampling their flower bed at night, throwing a rock thru their window and running. It's a portrayal of the bravery shown by groups like the Ku Klux Klan.

Who the hell thumbed you down, CJ? - oh, well, it's been fixed. I'm thinking of Shewolf, Bella, Chai, and maybe more, maybe you. They all got neg thumbs for a while. (Snort). I forget when, but I have this visual memory, a splay of bad thumbies.

Some of my downs I take as from Robert, but he is straight talking to me and I absorb that - he explains either online or, rarely, off, usually on. I get him, or try to.

Some of my downs I take from some kind of priss. On the other hand, those may be random.

Huh, I've never had a neg three before..

Not to worry on those sorts.

Don't worry about it, it is a diversified clown.
