This thread was wrong-headed from the get-go.
If you have a beef with someone and you perceive it as a likely violation of the Forum's terms, then contact the Administrator directly. Name-highlighting on thread titles is bush league.
As far as your concern about thumbs down – truly bigger than the G20 for you -- it's one of a dozen emojis available to evaluate each post, and forum members appear to have the right to never use them, or to use them as often as they please.
Meanwhile, you seem quite unconcerned by the green bar/red bar Reputation Power manipulation going on, as it's the conservatives playing with that statistic to their advantage. The total posts from progressives on that topic? Probably fewer than your own here, in this single-thread pity party.
You obviously needed some attention, and now you've had it, congratulations, perhaps someone will bake you a cake.
Liberals have used the downvote and liberals think there is nothing wrong with it.
As soon as conservatives start using the reputation, liberals are butt hurt demanding something must be done about it.
Since you're writing directly in response to my post, where did I demand that "something must be done" about Reputation Power?
It's deceptive to insert that remark as you respond to my post, if your intent is to refer, instead, to some hazy group of others.
Do you ever put your cop hat on and have a good, long chat with yourself?
