Thunder has used the dislike button outright on all VS boards since its inception. His premise is simple, if he seriously disagrees with a post—usually on principle or when it seems snarky or offensive to him—he dislikes it without comment There is some genius to that. It voices his displeasure while avoiding a battle of insults. Most here typically use the dislike feature as a weapon—checking contrary posts frequently to see which allies have joined. I don’t use the dislike button, opting to ignore most stuff with which I disagree. Thunder’s self-acknowledged tactics are not passive-aggressive or cheap shots; and demonstrate far more guts than me.

as he frequently uses the like button to reward similarly snarky posts that he agrees with. I don’t care if he uses it however he pleases, but I find it to be precisely a passive aggressive tool that throws a jab without dialogue or explanation.
