I received two thumb downs on an answer, and yet there was only one other entry with mine. How can that be. ?

Question

Pat I dont understand your silly answer.

Answer 1

I get thumbs down sometime when I'm the only answerer too. Like come on people if my answer was so horrible then leave an answer of your own!

Also sometimes the person who asked the question might give a thumbs down if they don't like your answer.

Answer 2

Anyone can give a thumbs down, whether they've answered the question or not.

Answer 3

I once got thumbs down on an answer I gave to a question about knitting!  Maybe you have picked up a stalker?

Answer 4

Someone can give a thumb's up or down without adding an answer.  So someone looked at the question, did not like your answer, gave it a thumb's down and went on.

Answer 5

it must of been silly

Answer 6

Anyone can leave a thumbs down, or up. They don't have to answer the question. Go in, do their " thumbing"  and go out again.

I don't do it!

Answer 7

Anyone can thumb down, even if you haven't answered the question. Some people feel so strongly about certain issues that they feel compelled to mark down anyone who offends against their beliefs. Feminists, race zealots, lefties and other obsessives, are likely to do this. Another possibility, is that you have offended someone, so they mark down your answers out of spite, could be the same types that I have just referred to. I don't personally mind that, because I know that I have reached the sort of people that I want to reach.

Answer 8

You don't have to reply to a question to give a thumbs down for an answer

Answer 9

The other one probably got his mate to do it

Answer 10

You don't have to answer a question to give thumbs up or thumbs down. And also the person who asked the question can give thumbs up or down if they want.

What on earth are you all so angry about? It's true, whether you want it to be or not!

Answer 11

If your answer wasn't good, you can get a thumb down, even if there is only one other answer.

Answer 12

TROLLS!!!!!!!!!

Answer 13

rating an answer is open to everybody.  so we can just go through the answers of some questions and rate them and not answer the question at all.

Answer 14

Because you are dumb.

Answer 15

they seem to get a kick out

of it, usually after school over.

Answer 16

Thumbs down for everyone HAHAHAHAHA
