    Again a downvote. I am not opposed to a downvote. If you have an opinion, it's all good, please express yourself, no matter if you think it's off the wall or won't be understood. It's easy, you don't even have to talk. There are enough pull downs to express your opinion. Don't waste your opinion!

      By leaving a downvote without either commenting why, or even picking the reason out of a multiple-choice popup list, the downvoter leaves it open to wide interpretation. Here, for example, I could speculate that the reason is some buttcoin saw a headline to the effect of "Bitcoin bad" and so they did what their resting lizard brain instincts would have them do, and they reflexively clicked. You know, the way you do at /t/popping, at first. Except for users like this muscle memory reflex targets the downvote button, instead. It's over in the blink of an eye, or more like the lick of an eye, or if you prefer the flash of a long tongue snagging a small insect in super-slowmo. It's so very, there's no time to go to the landing page for that snap, then to wait for the downvote arrow to fire up, only then to click or tap the button that pops up for qualifying the reason, and only then select one of the multiple-choice voting qualia allowed.

      Our buttcoin downvoter of so few words likely couldn't formulate an opinion to have if they read all the way through the headline, let alone the intro, of a snap before the autonomic impulse to downvote took over. I've gotta admit, here, I don't especially care to glean anything useful from this article. Then again, I didn't ignite a flaming downarrow on it reflexively avoiding the niggling realization that buttcoin, like speculation prices for Beanie Babies and independent comics what-have-you, can fluctuate down as well as up. It's not as if they're aware the article may've had some information or nuance of understanding they may've been glad to learn whatever their attitudes or pushed-buttons or triggers may be. Or are conscious of the fact the poster may not even be microagressing them, may not even support or endorse or even stand the article they've posted, hoping only to supply a welcome understanding of issues around what's being discussed in those particular terms. No, our stalwart buttcoin backer knows they don't like muftis, don't like Egypt, and don't like things that may bring using their payday loan to buy buttcoin into controversy.

        You do know that you scare people right?

          And here is why you don't scare me. You are real, you take the effort to shout, you are real, the time you take to respond, the effort. That you are real makes me think.

          Adelle has always been very passionate about her points, even if sometimes they may feel a bit overwhelming for some...

            Yes indeed, the acumen is amazing and scary for some.

        I've been told that I need a good psychiatrist. What's your going rate?
