Suggestion Reconsider and remove the "disagree (red thumb down)" flag

[rx7diver]

Today I am seeing the red thumb down ("disagree") flag for the first time. This must be a new feature.

I see a couple of problems with this feature: First, in the past, I (and others?) have used the blue thumb up ("agree") flag not only when I have agreed with a particular post (of course), but also to acknowledge that I have read a post, and I have found it helpful, even if I do NOT completely agree with it. I think that introducing the red thumb down ("disagree") flag is forcing a dichotomy that has the potential of being divisive and just might squelch the productive exchanges between members participating in a given SB thread--which is a second, but related, reason I think the red thumb down ("disagree") flag should be discontinued.

I recommend discontinuing this new (?) red thumb down ("disagree") flag feature.

Respectfully,

I must have missed something.

In the scoober world, I thought a thumbs down is a GOOD thing!



Means "let's go diving!"

The other sign means "fun's done."

In my mind, this is more appropriate here:

But then we would all be getting punched twice on the shoulder.

A little red graphic doesn't scare me or hurt my feelings. I just hope that if someone uses it they also post a meaningful reply so I can learn from their opinion or experience.
