in thread We should elminate: Anonymous, and DOWN-voting

I like that, at least then the person receiving the negative feedback has something to go on instead of having to guess as to the reason for the down-vote. The given reason itself can then become a discussion point. For instance if someone was down-voting a comment because they felt that the theory expressed in the comment cannot possibly work, then when they say that is the case they can be called to explain their position and provide evidence for it, or have their objection refuted. That way everyone can learn from the process.

    No no it's far easier and more convenient to just click and move along without giving any justification, if someone is too stupid to figure where they are going wrong then maybe the shouldn't be a programmer at all. This isn't a support group it's a game / battle ground where the winner takes all.
      Yeh, who gives a **** about anyone coming in who doesn't appreciate that fact?
        Yeh, fuck em, if they don't realise that this is just a game then they are stupid and deserve to lose.
