@moonbus saidHow is the poll going?
This confirms my contention that the consensus is against outing those who give thumbs.

@fmf saidYes.
I've got 20 of those thumbs down on this page already. Did you count those 20 people?
@fmf saidFive people have voted so far. I don’t know what the tally is, since I have not voted.
How is the poll going?
@moonbus saidNeither have I.

@moonbus saidWell then, your pronouncements about "the majority of users" and "a consensus" aside, one might as well continue to lobby the website with ideas to make it better. π
It seems not many people are interested in the topic this time around, but those who are are vehement about it, and vehemently against automatic outing.
@suzianne saidIf you think that after posting with me here for 14 plus years that I am in the slightest concerned about “dissent” via anonymous thumbs then you truly are deluded.
Do you honestly think people can't see through your attempt to silence dissent by submitting their names to you so you can grill them interminably in your own version of an inquisition? Seriously?
@suzianne saidChrist on a bike π
Getting rid of anonymous thumbs is tantamount to the site becoming Divegeester's and FMF's site of endless grilling of anyone and everyone who disagrees with them. The ONLY way right now to avoid the endless inquisition is to thumb anonymously, something you want to eliminate so you both can then bathe in the lake of apparent agreement in everything you say.
If this be ...[text shortened]... e a couple months of being endlessly scolded about disagreeing with the stars before they too leave.
@moonbus saidBlimey you too.
You just want to out your detractors.
But you probably know who most of them are anyway.
@moonbus saidThen why do you continually bleat on and on about this topic being discussed?
I am not berating or silencing anyone here. Everyone is free to state his opinion. I have stated mine: keep it as it is, anonymous ‘ayes’ and ‘nays’.
@moonbus saidI thought you were intelligent.
KJ, Dive, and yourself have advocated outing those who give thumbs (albeit, KJ moderated this late in the thread, to offer an option to out oneself): 78 TDs so far.
Those same posters have gotten 15 TUs so far.
Those not in favor of outing those who give thumbs: 39 TUs, 10 TDs.
This confirms my contention that the consensus is against outing those who give thumbs.
@fmf saidSure. However, outing people who do not wish to be outed is not one of the ideas which would make the site better.

@moonbus saidMost of the drama on these boards is caused by disagreement .
Sure. However, outing people who do not wish to be outed is not one of the ideas which would make the site better.

This has been discussed in many previous threads; in one of them, Pondy listed the threads in which it was discussed. Do your homework for yourself.
