Do you put thumbs down on other people's answer(s) if you have a different opinion on the issue?

No. Here are some of the reasons why I am giving answers with a thumbs down:

1) The answer totally missed the question.
2) It's racist in a sense.
3) Rude

Anyway, no matter what, everybody here has their rights to do anything here. It may hurt us or not but we have to live with it.

Cheers.

yes, i can honestly say. but also because those answers not only differ from my opinion but also rude.

and why do people get so upset with thumbs down anyway,what's the big deal about it.

i saw 2 people here got upset because they got thumbs down and they start accusing ,it's so childish (1 female,1 male)

it's ok if you get thumbs down it just mean people are still sane and they have their own opinion.

hi, miss wc, i can't give any thumbs up or down, because i'm still level one. still at the bottom. yup, the story of my life. but i do give people the finger when they're rude to me, then i run away really fast. i'm the fastest runner in my 'hood, didn't you know? and, miss, i won't ask you for any more coins because you've given me plenty already. na kakahiya po kasi e. bye, miss wc!

I will give thumbs up/down depending on whether the answer is factual and whether the information is correct.
If I feel an answer is correct but has been "attacked" by various trolls I will respond with a thumbs up/down dependant on the type of attack.
I will not give a thumbs up/down either because I like or dislike the person.
Unlike Well, I hope that the people I like have enough free will to vote as they see fit .

You bet! Especially if the answer is totally bogus.

I only put a thumbs down if the point is unjustified or if they use sources which are not credible.

I don't do that because people have different opinions and if I think the answer seems to have a point but is against my opinion, I just leave it be. I generally put thumbs down to answers which I think are stupid, not answering the question, promoting dating sites, and advertisements. c",)

I'd like to qoute Cmass stan: "I'll put a thumbs down if the answer is factually incorrect. I'll flag obvious spam. I'll thumbs up someone who nails the answer." Exactly my answer.

Pero I have to admit, basta smarta**, thumbs down agad :p Lahat ng may subtle attack sa Filipinos, thumbs down agad. Kasi, bakit ka pupunta dito at sasagot ng question kung ang baba pala ng tingin mo at wala ka lang ibang pakay kundi manlait at magyabang dito... go away, I hope you vanish to thin air!

usually, I only put thumbs-down if they are acting like a retard or if they are saying something that is unethical.. although I have to admit, if it's an issue I feel strongly about, I will give thumbs-down to someone who gives a different opinion..

for example, lets say someone writes about how Hitler was a good person and we need to follow his example.. I would give an answer like that a thumbs-down..

CMass Stan

I'll put a thumbs down if the answer is factually incorrect. I'll flag obvious spam. I'll thumbs up someone who nails the answer. After that, I let them be.

Opinions are just that, and they shouldn't be judged according to whether it's right or wrong. It also keeps me away from having to figure out if an answer is meant to be ironic or satirical.

I only put thumbs down when people are being rude and malicious.

Goody M

Yes, I will. That's how I voice out my idea. I'm only in Level 1, so I can't do that now. But you have a good question.

Lola

good question. when one is using bad words to stress their point which is not necessary.

Karlo C

Not really. I only put a thumbs down if the answer offends people or if it's really stupid or retarded.

â™¥^-^â™¥ Mabuhay! â™¥^-^â™¥

Mabuhay! Yes, it's the easiest way to do to a rude answer. â™¥^-^â™¥

Korek ka dyan! Kung si Pacquiao nga Knock Out ang kalaban eh di thumbs down naman ang sa atin here at Y/A. HAHAHA!

binibining pilipina

No i don't,but i will give thumbs down when the answerer are rude,and sarcastic. I know people who accused me of having different trolls and giving those certain individuals thumbs down just because we had an argument. So not true.

the reason i give thumbs down is because I'm not stupid i know how to read between the lines and when people get so arrogant and so sarcastic.

If i don't like you and you have decent answer i won't give you thumbs up, nor thumbs down.

and that's my prerogavite.

shae t

yes if the question are good and the answer are dumb.or not irrelevant to the question.

Lushbabe4ever

Why not? Since if the answer is irrelevant to the question. (

joy emz

no..i respect other peoples opinion..if that's what they think is right so be it..but i will stand on what i believe..

jan-na~â™¥~ and im luvin it

i really dont care putting a thumbs down. it's their opinion. (and i don't normally read their answers)

red rose

I don't put thumbs down if I have a different opinion!
I put thumbs up if I think somebodys answer is not related to the topic or if it was a little bit rude.
lol
have a nice day!

tisya

i do if the answer is offensive but i dont "usually put a thumbs down" just because we dont share the same opinion.btw i also put thumbs up rating

Otaku in Need

No, not really cuz I prefer to respect other people's opinion. But I do give a thumbs down for the ff reasons:

1. Their answers are solely based on hate for the question's topic.

2. They're full of senseless bad words and merely used to insult other people. (Note: this is still hate)

3. Finally, the way they answer makes me wanna Firaga their &#^%#^$!!!

StarbucksAficionado

I just put thumbs down if the answer doesn't have any sense at all or doesn't relate to the question.
But I definitely put thumbs up to reliable answers.

..::Ð„á¸É±Ê‹Ã±É–.:::..

i put thump down when i dont like the answer or its a really bad/wrong answer (when someone dis you & my question)

Laika

I don't rate a thumbs down for people with differing opinion from mine.. I wouldn't want to be given a thumbs down for giving a different answer.. We're all allowed to our responses..

I do give thumbs down though for answers that are not in accordance with what the Yahoo Answers community is about, mainly, answers that do not answer the question (answering just for the points), answers that are too negative - those that are overly biased or offensive or racist.

Well

Of course I do, we all should, that's what it's for!

Do I conspire with --other-- participants on which questions to vote for and for which answerers to give a deluge of thumbs downs to, categorically NO.

The people I like here probably do as me.
