      It’s a social media site. If you “disagree” solely by hitting a “i don’t like this” button then you’re part of the problem. Use your words. Real cowardice is downvoting things you disagree with, without having to make the case for why or do any kind of critical thinking about your own position.

      For example: I disagree with you, but I have expressed it through the above argument rather than with a petty, silent downvote.

        I don’t have time to write a rebuttal to every mouthpiece with an opinion. Down voting is a quick way to disagree.

              You’ve responded to my every comment so far. Seems like you’re the one who doesn’t know how language works because you think you can tell other people how to use it.

              Which is fine, because not only do I know how language works, I know how the block feature works too. Now get lost, troll.

                Wow. You complained about a petty downvote, then responded with an insult and “I’m going to block you”. Incredible cognitive dissonance here. If a silent downvote was petty, what else could be more petty?

                And just to drive home my point, I’m also going to block *you *after I post this!

                Conversation is such a fucking waste of time in this place.
