my two cents [ haven’t read the entire thread yet ]:
how we choose to interact with others is what this is ultimately about. sometimes walking away is the best solution.
a dislike button [ to me ] is an overt way to attack someone. you can’t confront the issue [ as you see it ] with a formulated response or proper action; no, just “dislike” it and move on.
youtube removed the thumbs down button a long time ago from their platform. think for a moment about why that might be…

Don’t stop y’all I’m almost there. Lol
But really folks as any of us old fuckers here will tell you. How well I pee is a far bigger concern to me than a thumbs down button but if you get rid of the thumbs up button I’m out. I need the validation because peeing is gettin tougher by the day.

There used to be a dead spot in the yard about 4 feet out where I pee off the porch. I have watched it retreat to become a stain on the porch that aggravates all the hell outta my old woman!!

What you need is a personal gutter that extends up to the porch. Hell, secondarily it could serve as a handrail!

Hate to distract from important piss dribbling conversation, apologies. But I have more thoughts 
People mostly seem to be ignoring that this is a moderated forum. We have flagging. The comparison to school kids is problematic in my opinion. We exist in a place that has people who are here to help maintain order, it’s ok to utilize them.
The conceptual framework of “tattling” is something that I deeply dislike, but that is a tangent I won’t go down beyond the following. As a little undiagnosed autistic/adhd kid, I got bullied a ton. Having to just handle it and fight or whatnot is not something reasonable to expect for kids or adults in a civilized community space. Having someone to be able to say “hey, this is not acceptable, according to the guidelines we have all accepted to participate in this space it is not acceptable, please back up that expectation for this place” to is important in order for people to be able to engage freely.
Also the “I want future readers to see disapproval”. I come back to "they are going to have no idea why you are disapproving. Again, most messages here are more than one sentence or thought or concept. Everything could be correct except one thing that you took issue with and might be wrong about! There are people here who are confidently, aggressively wrong about any number of topics. Just barreling through a thread with thumbs downs is absolutely not useful.
As a relatively new member, and knowing how people get the various titles, I don’t have the energy to research every single poster on every single thread. There’s already 3k comment threads, sorry, not going to pause every message and go research their posting history. Just am not. Thumbs downs would probably disappear into the fog of “that guy just thumbs down every single post by that other guy” and turn into an eye roll of “ah that one person has arrived in a thread started by the person they always thumbs down”.
Perhaps more useful would be a community guideline on how many times someone can say the exact same thing in a thread before it’s flaggable as no longer relevant to the thread
See my previous message about my wordy posts. And if someone dropped a thumbs down on this post, how would I or future readers possibly know which part you disagree with. That is why thumbs downs would eventually just get dismissed in people’s minds as just haters and disregarded, not a “hmm, I should re-evaluate my position on this topic.”

She might be sick of your shit and trying to get rid of you bud. I’d tread carefully. I hope you weren’t dumb like me and didn’t heavily arm your wife.
