The Disagree Button ... Ravelry
I have been following a particular thread with interest, wondering when it was going to run off the rails, as a lot of threads do in ravelry. Completely forgetting the original topic and attacking each other in a lot of instances, this one being no exception.
How easy it is to disagree with someone when you are faceless. A cowardly act in any circumstance, but especially when the person being disagreed with has no idea why, will never have answers and the coward simply moves onto another victim leaving most hurt, upset and wondering what on earth they said/did to upset so many people.
I have also noticed that when a topic continues, everyone seems to be in boots and all hitting the disagree button, topping up the disagree numbers to over 100 sometimes. Wonder how the original poster feels now? Do the disagree button pushers care – I think not.
I am not suggesting that people not disagree with an action or comment, but I am disagreeing with the fact that they do so without a name.
Stand up and own your disagree, put a face and comment to your action. Actually participate in the thread and respect the other person.
Grow up and act responsibly.
If you cannot do that …put your fingers to better use … go back to your knitting. Isn’t that why you are there in the first place?

I couldn't agree more with you Janette ! :)
I think the anonymity of the Disagree button goes to people's heads (or fingers) sometimes. I have disagreed a few times but I usually do say that I disagree and sometimes you vote with the Agree and Disagree!! It's a bit rough when people gang up though.
