First of all - I should not have called him out like I did. @BlightyBrew I am sorry about that. As a mod, I should take the high road. I should have just asked you what exactly you disagreed with and asked you to expand on it.
Secondly, I moved these posts to the issues forum because that is where they belong. No one going into a thread on Craig Counsell's future should have to wade through a bunch of posts about the thumbs-up/down feature. Yes, I contributed to sending things off the rails over there and I knew there'd be some blowback to moving them here but that's ok. I didn't delete anything, I told everyone in the old thread where to find the new thread. The people who were interested could easily make their way here (like you did).
As I mentioned, there are no rules related to the thumbs up/down thing. I don't personally use thumbs down because I think it leaves more questions than answers for the person who receives it. Say someone makes a post with several points and another poster gives them a thumbs down. So do you disagree with everything? One thing? Two things? These are my non-mod two-cent opinions on it.
