    Many forum denizens (OP included) get thumbs down on all posts - content not-withstanding. Fun.

    But what if there was one day a year where we could post any drivel or half-baked idea without repercussion? What if there was a Thumbs Immunity Day? One day where we don't have to see the public slap in the face for trying to participate in this milieu.

    Maybe it is a bridge too far. Maybe it is beyond the pale. Maybe I just love irony (the greatest rhetorical device of the human condition) and can't wait to see how many thumbs down this idea gets.

    I propose December 1 is Thumbs Immunity Day. It could be an annual event. Give your mouse a day off. Take the pledge. So far we have one:

    Well we all look at things in a different way, if you get a thumb up or down it at least means people are paying attention to what your saying. That may or may not cut down on my thumbs down...LOL... I look at as my fan club following me around. I could pretty well name them but then that may be against the TOS and considered provoking people. πŸ˜‰

    As for your idea not bad, but can't see it happening although I've been surprised before. πŸ˜‰

    Hey, so long as you find it funny, I don't mind someone having a laugh at my expense as I do the same with others who get the red thumb down, again not mentioning any names! πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜›

    Oh I know - publicly - I have been paying attention.

    But you are on board. You know a pointless tilting at windmills when you see it.

    Surely it's exposure to thumbs that results in immunity. Rusty and Dive will live forever.

    (Although I suspect Rusty is still infectious and spreads them to others πŸ˜ƒ)
