I recall when we had the "Disagree" button and I would get myriad disagree votes for things like writing "I think your coin is really attractive..." or stating "the Barber half dollar series is tough to complete with all the coins in EF and having what appears to be original surfaces..." or even statements such as "if you're just starting out collecting then it might be safer to buy better date classic gold already certified instead of raw off of Craigslist and meeting the person in your car in an alley...".
However one day, without any announcement, PCGS made all the disagree votes public (who remembers that?) and you could see exactly who it was that disagreed with you for what you wrote. I was rather surprised to see a few regular and/or longtime members had disagreed with nearly every one of my current posts. It was beyond childish, in my opinion. Of course, once those disagrees became public, I also noticed my count for "Disagree" went down dramatically when those regular or longtime members realized their petty use of the button was public and they removed their disagrees!

it caused to much trouble the last time. its not a smart thing right now, jmo
Maybe we should go back to the days where there was no agree, like or lol tabs?
We got along fine for many years without any of this.
I'm confused, but I agree to disagree. I like sitting on the fence, just please don't turn the juice on.
