It’s not about comments being liked or dislike. I absolutely encourage anyone to disagree with me. I think it’s more productive to the forum when actual debate takes place about it and not just a one off two, but I absolutely understand everyone has a right to their own opinions.
If you noticed this posters’ posting habits, I think you’d know that the point that @TURBOwas making had nothing to do with his opinion being liked or disliked. And I know you know that there certainly was a time in the brewerfan.net days when repeatedly downvoting posts of certain posters not because of actual real-life disagreement, but just for the purpose of being repeatedly obnoxious, without any dialogue, would have been considered trolling behavior and would not have been tolerated in the long-term.
Apparently times have changed indeed, and us longtime posters will just have to adjust.
