Wouldn't it be more informative if "thumbs downers" had a short space for a reason. Many negatives are inexplicable, such as opposing using pepper spray on would-be aggressors, or opposing Crest board minutes be available online. Do readers actually understand what they are voting on?
Moderator's Note: Again, the thumb votes provide only a general indication of how a given spout is viewed by the Spout Off audience. It's not meant to be taken so seriously.
