RE: Our Corrupt Sense of Fairness
It's not so much that negative voting isn't fair mathematically speaking. It's that negative voting isn't fun. It's not fun for people doing the negative voting a lot of the time and it's not fun for the people receiving the negative votes. If it's possible to get the same achieve the same without spoiling or griefing someone else's fun then why not do it the path of least resistance?
But it's also not fun to feel the need to exercise a negative vote and not be able to do anything except abuse the flag.
This is a legitimate point of view. This article was in response to the vast number of messages arguing fairness.
Very well said!
@dana-edwards you said what I was going to say but more eloquently.
Do you have any specific suggestions how to "achieve the same result" because many of the comments from others on this issue, and I think maybe from you elsewhere (apology if incorrect), which mostly involve voting for something else instead, do not achieve the same result.
