I hear you. I fear some will just give a 'piss off' to anything they disagree with. Personally on that I'd consider the source.

I like the idea of possibly using for some of the troll posts or something I find offensive. Troll posts in my opinion don't require a response, offensive posts-let's say basic racism, I'd likely post a reply to.

Neg rep to me is basically 'I hate you,' it's personal. Thus, I don't do that or at least haven't for years, probably MaineMan?

Exactly, my first 'piss off' received was for asking someone to expand on a statement they made (I wasn't even being sarcastic ) they didn't otherwise reply. To me that seems an awful lot like trolling - for it should be considered that they did nothing except quote the post made and reply with "Piss off." I don't understand why people want that feature.

THAT is why I don't like it. You can say what you want about me, but I have never neg repped you and won't tell you to piss off. Unless I say it to your face. And whoever wants to get pissed at me can, but it's a cheap tool to backstab people instead of confronting them.

Of course we got a laundry list of lefties that won't confront others. SO don't come whining to me about a tool tailored for YOU.

I see your point to some extent, though I also can't agree. The simple fact of the matter is that the response anyone chooses to make to a post they see, is theirs to make (and for others to comprehend) ... and surely not for you to govern the detail of the response which is chosen.

The feature we're discussing can be used in a particular way according to the choice of the user. This is as it should be.
