It always amazes me that people who have nothing better to do with their life than to post 500 times in 2 months on a sports forum somehow thinks that makes them more important or knowledgeable.
It just a **** forum where everyone from the dumbasses to the really informed should be welcome. I really enjoy the stupidity, even my own.
I agree with you @Pigeons BUT if 5 people disagree with you, even if 20 agree, then 5 DV automatically buries the post. If you want to read it you have to click on it. FWIW ( and nobody probably cares) but I only DV for borderline Flag worthy comments/attacks on others
lol...
Welcome
^^^^ BTW As a retired person with a love of the Dawgs I don't anything more other than this except the Podcast etc. That doesn't make me more knowledgeable but beats the hell out of weeding etc in 90 degree heat/humidity
LOL at the post police
I've been a lurker here since last year but only recently started signing in. I've also downvoted people because I disagreed with something that they posted. I had NO idea it would bury a post. I thought that a downvote means you disagree.
I've downvoted and uovoted people under the same thread. A lot of sites are set up like that. I meant no harm or foul to anyone!!
it is a bit confusing, at least to this ancient mind, what the various options might mean. maybe we need an "I disagree" button? Maybe an "I think you're a dolt" button ? I use the UV button for something that seems kind of clever but also for something that I agree with, at times. I don't know what I'd think if I was lucky enough to get 34 DV.

Okay, so posts where a few people disagree and click the down vote button should be buried so that we don't have to look at them.
Everyone should just make sure not to state an opinion that is a little too unpopular, or the board will discourage your participation...
The most famous down voter on this forum is Robby Nablusi. Every time you click on the down vote button, you should be asking yourself, "is down voting this post worth looking like Robby Nabulsi for?"
And every other message board on the Internet is not like that. The vast majority of Internet message boards don't even have a down vote button. Probably because way too many people click on the thing for juvenile reasons.
Your just lucky I didn't go into my analogies about a man being crucified not because he did something wrong. But just because his message, which most people disagreed with at the time, represented a threat to power.
Hey. First, I wanted to say that I do appreciate a lot of the stuff that you write on here.
That being said, I think that you are unaware that a lot of message boards are set up to upvote and downvote at will. For example, a lot of people frequent Imgur where it is perfectly fine to upvote and downvote. In fact, it's expected. That's why I was doing so, until I came across this message. Just wanted to come to the defense of a lot of us that were not/ are not in the know.
Anyway, I love all of the dawg talk on here!!
Go DAWGS!
Might be an unpopular opinion, but if we aren’t supposed to downvote don’t give us a downvote button. I’ll respect rules about downvotes the day people police the grounds on which I upvote.
