I’m over the downvote thing, it’s a broken and useless system. Most of them (80+%) were from Croix. There are posters who will give me 5-10 at a clip just to be vindictive. Good Catholics right? 🙄 I very seldom give a downvote even though I’m tempted to give many, I try to practice self control. 😀
IMO, the downvote option is a good feature of this forum, and I have more downvotes (percentage-wise) than most forum members. I don't assume vindictiveness with the downvotes, though it's a possibility.
Downvoting helps to ease arguments, since a downvote can be given instead of argument. Otherwise, this thread would probably be even more contentious.
However, I upvoted Alaric's post #109 on this thread, because it made sense.
