Because they are a silly and meaningless feature suitable for adolescents that mars the website. I'll keep plugging away until they're gone.

Take, for example, one of your (frequent) toxic posts. Another poster may wish to express their disapproval but knows to reply to you in the thread will lead to post after post of passive-aggressive, dog with a bone, vitriol. Giving you an anonymous thumbs down may prove a more appealing option.

Well I think it's infantile. Relentless Red used to drone on about this "forum retribution" thing. It just seems so silly. Disagree with someone, fine. Ignore someone, fine. Alert a post to get it removed if it breaks the TOS. There's no need for a teenage feature on a website almost exclusively for grown ups.

fmf, I must tell you that you're sounding like a cranky old man. I think, you've already been told this: The world does NOT REVOLVE around you. 😛

This completely mischaracterizes my posting history.

I don't think any of my posts are "toxic".

I imagine there are at least 22 individual posters who think they are.

I am beginning to think your posting is even more toxic than the gooster, at least he knows when to stop, you don't. I was once like you, changed my ways, you can too. 🙂

Who are they? Are they people whose opinions matter to me? We don't know. In other words it's meaningless. It's a system befitting teenagers.

What makes you say "22 individual posters" think my posts are "toxic"?

Grow up Divegeester: Your diaper is showing.

Amazing retort.

What part of "anonymous feedback" scares you?
Just stop being a jerk. Your feedback will improve.

Ask Rusty.

Who’s scared of “anonymous feedback”?

PS Rusty is a cretin who hasn’t changed his posting style in 15 years.

@fmf said
How do you know they are "quiet, meek and humble" if they are anonymous?

Haha!

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Why talk incessantly then about silly things?

Hobnobs, for example?

RHP doesn't revolve around who is important to you.

Again, all users of the site are equal.

So says the self proclaimed “hero of the masses”

🤣

It does for me.

Me too.
