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?

LTC Bink Romanick - I don't have a problem with the down-vote (and I have received several), but I do think that a down-vote should require a comment to register as such.
Any time I get a down-vote, without a comment, I ask the voter to comment/share his/her opinion. Some do and some don't. I think it should be required.

Absolutely agree! I have even asked down-voters for a comment when the down vote wasn't on me!

LTC Bink Romanick I never use them and I never will. I think everyone is entitled to an opinion on this open forum. If I don't like it I usually don't respond or move on. I find it to be the polite way of communicating. Don't worry LTC Bink Romanick I won't every vote you down. Have a great RP Day!

I think discussion is discussion and they it people learn. Discourse shouldn't be ratable.

Like COL Jean (John) F. B., I feel that an explanation should be required for a down vote.
Then like SrA Edward Vong, I try to reserve my own down votes not for posts I disagree with but ones that show a complete lack of professionalism. I ALWAYS leave a comment when I down vote explaining why.

LTC Bink Romanick, you're quite welcome Sir! In fact I just had a disagreement with someone in another thread and I said "Well I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree" with no unpleasantries or down votes exchanged.
