"Whining"?
I seem to have touched a nerve?
Listen -- repetative negative "karma" and "rep ticks" are the non-thinker's way of lashing out, online.
They know not how to articulate their negative commentary, so they let a few little buttons and a couple of mouse clicks to the talking for them.
It is a cop-out.
It is equal to leaving a bag of flaming shit on someone's door step...And then running away.
It's equal to saying "oh yeah, well my dad can beat up your dad!".
I don't negative-tick unless the person truly deserves it.
I don't use negative ticks to
avoid actualy debate/discussion.
I don't disable the tick feature because
I'm afraid I'll get too many in the negative.
I don't use negative ticks to punish those who don't agree with me. I'm just a bit more secure in my views and beliefs. Negative commentary doesn't fill me with rage and make me...click a mouse button. I'd rather either articulate my point in response to negative comments, or simply walk away knowing that the person neither deserves nor would even comprehend a response. I've seen ALOT of that since I've been here, and it's only been a few days.
Funny how the loudest whiners are the ones who engage in unwarranted negative-ticking.
All because they don't know how to communicate, or articulate themselves accordingly.
But then again....judging by the online character of those who do it....it's not a shock.
