I hate the thumbs option or most rating systems. Why dislike a comment rather than explain why you disaprove of it, which gives the person the ability to explain their reasonings? I think it's a coward's tool mostly. Not everyone does it for cowardly reasons, some posts are funny and do deserve a thumbs up.
I myself do not use the thumbs feature anymore for two reasons:
1. I have the ability to explain to you why I disaprove of your comment and don't need to do it and hide. I am comfortable in my ability to explain why I disaprove so I do not have to hide my reasons.
2. With this whole new Karma system that the thumbs option effects a user's ability to vote is wrong in my eyes, so even if I disagree with someone completely, I do not thumb them down, even if they try to offend me. The karma system makes it so that people have the option to pander to what everyone wants to hear rather than their raw opinion, so I do not support that by not using the thumbs feature.
In my opinion, you are one of the users who is a victim of thumbing bullshit. I've seen your comments get thumbed down for no reason whatsoever because people disagree with your attitude on an unrelated post/comment.
Yeah, I noticed it, too. Not only me but I've noticed that people that tend to be having a fun or jokey conversation with me or state they agree with me in some way tend to get downvoted, too, just as it seems you have.
