Watzup with all the thumbs downs in Ice Skating?

Question

Watzup with all the thumbs downs in Ice Skating? Most of these are good answers or opinions. I smell an Ice Troll lurking here. What do you think?

Answer 1

Figure skaters hate the world.  That is why they reject everybodys anwsers.  They think theirs is the only one that is right.

Answer 2

I don't know because I just joined.

Answer 3

This thumbs business is supposed to be for rating answers . . . others opinions about the answers, good or bad - in which everyone is entitled to.  But it's also become a tool for trolls - not just in ice skating . . . they'll thumbs down everyone so they think they'll look better, or thumbs down answerers they just don't like, or thumbs down just for the heck of it.  It's a cheap thrill for them.    

I seem to get targeted ALL the time, but you know what?  I could care LESS.  I answer honestly and want to help people is all . . . and I think most of the folks here are the same way - and they'll see through the "thumbs".  But for those few who get a kick out of playing these childish games - go ahead.  These itty bitty silly "thumbs" have no bearing on my life or anyone else's for that matter.  If you have something to gain by thumbs downing people, I guess the laugh is on you.      

I'm in line with pinksk8ergal . . . I'll be waiting for the thumbs down on this too - wink!

Answer 4

I think there is definitely a troll here. you are right, most of these answers are good, well-thought opinions and accurate answers. (except for the person on this question who claims figure skaters 'hate the world'. we do not. find someone else to annoy, please.)

Answer 5

I know!  Don't you hate that?  I really don't think it's actually any of the skaters who frequent this category because we've got a pretty smart and decent group here.  I think most of us are pretty reluctant to give out the big ol' thumbs down, opting to just ignore bad answers.  I have a feeling that it's just someone with too much free time being obnoxious....as is typical of growing majority of the people in our world these days.  I think if someone's going to toss out a thumbs down, they should have to give a resonable explainantion and if it's based on stupidity, it shouldn't be granted.  Simple as that!  :)

I guess I'll be waiting for my thumbs down now.

Answer 6

I've been seeing this around too. I'll answer a question and when I come back to check the answers the next day, I see my answer has been given 4 thumbs downs. It makes me angry because I work hard at giving people reasonable and good answers. *sigh* I smell a troll around here too.
