Yep “man [BLEEP] (female dog) who got the rep button taken away” is a leading candidate for the sig.

I think what everyone thinks matters.
Your opinion about some things may not matter.  For instance, if you're a lawn guy, your opinion about lawnmowers is very important! I'm an engineer.  My opinion about the building code matters.  But my opinion about lawnmowers does not matter.
But this is not lawnmowers or building codes. This is an internet message board.
We're not in China.  Your opinion matters, mine matters, Beach Bunnie's matters.
There's a phrase for feeling like your opinion doesn't matter.  It's "learned helplessness". You shouldn't feel that way when you have mods and admins at your fingertips.

No, I think it’s an internet message board and they set it up for us to discuss multiple topics.  Their rules, I’ll follow it.  I think you’ve made too much of the stupid button.  It’s not a “my opinion doesn’t matter” issue as much of a “here is a cool place to discuss stuff and here’s the layout”.  But sadly, people [BLEEP] and moan and like what we’re seeing in America today, a few people get to [BLEEP] it up for the majority that can get along just fine.

I was concerned that they would think I was rude or uninformed.  I could care less if they think I'm a loser.  This is the Jaguars forum.  We're all losers here!
Nobody owes anyone anything, yes.  You don't have to participate in anything you don't want to participate in.  But if you participate, if you impose on people, if you dump on them, then yes you do owe them things.  If you didn't want to take the time to explain the downvote, maybe, uh don't make it?

As for upvotes, it's not just me! Nobody demands an explanation for positive feedback!  If another woman compliments your outfit, do you stop, and ask her what her favorite part is? No! But if your sister or boyfriend or whatever says you're not looking your best, you're either going to be offended, or you're going to be asking follow up questions about if it's your hair or your shoes or what so you can look better. Would your sister "owe" you an explanation? I want everyone to get upvotes.  Are you so selfish that you assume other people you interact with must also be only thinking of themselves? Check yourself.

Check myself? I’m not the one having to explain why I whined on a message board because I got down voted!

Yeah, before you wreck yourself. Lol

And this is all on a message board that almost got shot down if not for the hard work of the mods/admins to keep it running aFree it left the Jaguars site. Be lucky you have a place to discuss your bull [BLEEP].
