I think the like button serves its purpose 'to positively agree with the comment' but if you disagree, how do you express this? When does a disagreement become an argument that needs a mod to step in?
I'd
like to see an
'agree to disagree' button. (Maybe call it an
AtoD or a thumbs down - just a thought to abbreviate the text = save space).
This is a less confrontational (a positive negative so to speak) method to say you disagree but concede that the other person is entitled to their point of view.
A forum is a place to share, in my experience, life is about sharing, that requires some give & take, it's a compromise, it allows you to say how you feel but without the agro - simply 'agree to disagree'
I think it shows maturity to express disagreement in a constructive manner... disagreement isn't a bag thing, it's just another perspective.
Something that is often lost when typing is tone of voice, how you feel isn't always conveyed. In a face to face conversation, it's not always what you say, but the tone in which it's said.
To kiss ass is easy, to say hang on, I feel this... or that is very difficult, especially on a screen. Lets have some balance, without left there's no right, without
hot there's no
cold, up,down, in out etc.......... lads & lasses, lets have a world's first - lets not be a facebook brown nose, lets be grown up, break new ground & have a simple agree to disagree button!
- Do you like?
- Do you agree to disagree?
- Do you dislike?
- Do you start another unnecessary poll?
+1 vote from me!
p.s. I'd also like to see a 'make sticky' button. After 'X' amount of make sticky requests have been recored, the mod can decide whether to make it a sticky, or not... less mess & less forum filled with wasted 'I agree' comments.
