I have some opinions that others may not like and others may have opinions that I don't like. The point of discussion is discussion , not eating other people's opinions. Ratings inhibit free thought and open discussion.

I have down voted, I have lost a thousand points on down votes. I see no actual usefulness of rating another person's opinion. If you don't like the opinion, pass it up. If you don't like the person, block them.

What say you?

I have no issue with down votes. We all defended the right to agree or disagree, go for it. With the rest of the country forgetting this, it is nice to know we few are adult enough to have good discussions that actually make you think.

I say pass it up; because any down votes I have ever gotten, came with no explanation. So I never knew what that person did not like.

Thank you for your feedback. Down voting "is how the community indicates that a member's post is not helpful, productive, or professional. Down votes may also indicate that an opinion is unpopular."

COL Williams that was my exact point. Perhaps I didn't word my question properly. I think you should state your opinion in a free discussion without penalty or approval. I've never had a down vote with a comment.

Discussion is discussion...its an intellectual process not a competition.
