The Dumb button...

[Choked Blood Flow Fiend]

I have 7 dumb ratings... Heres to ruffling feathers

I think if one does something 'dumb' and 'stupid' one should be told. If it upsets your sensibility good, maybe you will learn. Although I'm not bothered if you hurt yourself, I'm bothered if by your stupid and dumb actions you hurt me.

In terms of the 'dumb' button I thought it referred to the contents of the post, not that the poster was dumb.

I hear you, but do not think it can reflect other than on the poster too.

lol bro, that is funny - the dumb rating is pretty offensive. I basically begged for one, and now I see it and feel dammit why'd I do that <-- Now this is dumb

but question is have you used the dumb button ever? How'd it feel?

I'm sure it can but I never looked at it that way.

I have often clicked the 'like' button on your posts ................... but that doesn't mean I have fallen in love with you, it doesn't even mean I like you! . It means I like your post.

I'm sorry if I have somewhat deflated your bubble.

Luv ya Andre

too much lulz in this thread. I agree the rating to apply to the post not the person. Theoretically though the poster feels a connection to his post I guess and will take negative ratings personally.

[/QUOTE]

Yep - once.

How did it feel? - At the time the 'dumb' button fitted the persons actions.
I am not saying the person is dumb I am saying the persons actions were dumb.

We all do (or have done) dumb and stupid things it doesn't mean we are all dumb and stupid.

100% agree man, I haven't been man enough to rate negatively even though I've felt some stuff I've read to be dumb or totally disagree etc - well I'm lying there was only one post I thought was dumb.

And my answer to that is ........ "if the cap fits" ...........

thanks bro @Stosta legend

Just to put it out there , I have yet to come across a poster or post on this forum that I would rate as "dumb" . "Disagree" maybe , but never dumb.

Luckily for us the members here are a reliable bunch . You'd be surprised at the number of forums I've been to where guys thumb suck & pull ideas out their a$$e$ & end up dishing out dumb & down right dangerous advice

There you go!

 

[NewOobY]

hehehehe thanks man, I know I can always count on you to give me the rating's I need

I see I have received 5 dumb ratings. Undoubtedly because of personal issues, but who cares. It just helps me to grow my 'ignore' list
