"Thanks, Don't know what for but since there is no button I'll just have to do this when I like, agree with, or respect a posters opinion. Man will this get old fast. I wonder how polarizing it will be?"
I was going to post the above at size 7 but ya know what. Some whiny sniveling little puke would have cried a river of tears over it. I wonder if some of the reasons were not just because of the lion fish thread (which I have never read thank you very friggin much, easy to not be offended when you can and do just not look at certain things), but when some people agreed with opinions that put others on the defensive. Like maybe those that offered alternatives to the usual training or lack thereof? When a number of people agreed it was called "divisive" instead of informative as it really was.
That term (divisive) is often used in society to garner sympathy for those who are too lazy to change the channel or station. It also describes the easily offended little brats who have been coddled and brainwashed into believing that life is fair, that competition is bad, that we should lie and aquiesce to protect little jonnie's or sally's "feelings".
Wah freakin Wah.
If a thread offends you don't read it. Unless it personally attacks YOU or threatens YOU what is the big deal. I have been threatened and attacked on here. I reported it and it was PRIVATELY taken care of.
If someone was indeed abusing the button then again hit them not the whole board. It is PETTY stuff like this and some other issues (censorship for one) that has resulted in me taking my money elsewhere. In a few months I will no longer be red. After 6 years of being red. I did believe in what I was doing. I also liked not having to see all the ads but even though I try to turn em off now I can't seem to.
And how do you really abuse a thanks button? Saying thanks is "cyber bullying"? Which member offed themself or snuffed another because someone thanked another person who had a different opinion? But Utopia is the new ideal in every area I guess. Gotta love the atmosphere of change.

I am sorry if this got posted already. I dont have the time to sift thru 30 pages of thanks. The thing that I dislike about the thanks button being gone is now the post count for the threads will double from everyone that posts a thanks.

Even if someone attacks you, I don't really see the point in getting upset to be honest. I like myself so if someone else doesn't like me that doesn't change how I feel about myself. I just don't see why one would get offended if some stranger on the net says something mean about them

Wow.....what a DB
I don't remember which one is the correct new THANKS so I will post them all.
+1
Thank you
Thank You Thank You 
Jim Lapenta, I don't really know you but dude, you rock!
And dementid...your prediction is right on.
There are threads on SB that I don't like. Either I don't like the subject matter, or I don't like the participants, or both.
Do I frickin' whine? Hell no. I don't go to those threads. Life's too short. The internet is a mighty big place and I have no time in my personal life to hang out in places that annoy or bore me.
Removing the THANKS button was fixing a problem that didn't exist. The polarization exists regardless and now, I see further polarization, right here in this thread.

Pot calling the kettle black hey?
And how is me telling you I don't care what you say or do whining?
Its not, its actually childish and rude. Seems to fit you pretty well the way your acting now. You have a choice, be a bigger person or don't. Sorry you are having these issues.

I'll go with not being the bigger person then.
