Why am I giving you a downvote? I’ll explain, nothing you said made sense. It was crass, vulgar and added nothing to the discussion. It was very jewish.

Edit to add: I didn’t downvote you, it’s against the rules and I’m not jewish.

It’s an analogy. I’ll explain.

God designed the mouth for eating food. AOU designed the downvote button to minimize off-topic comments and posts.

Using the downvote button because you disagreeeeeeeeee is like using your mouth to suck cock.

Both make you a degenerate faggot.

So does that mean the upvote is the up the ass button (using your scenarios for analogies)

I’m sorry that you’re too stupid to know how analogies operate. You didn’t offer a corollary or reasonable equivalency. So, no, in no way does your faggy reply have any merit.

The upvote arrow has a function that is independent of the downvote. It could exist without the downvote. It’s meant to increase visibility for comments and topics you, or others, might want seen.

The downvote arrow is simply an easily identifiable icon that pairs well visually within the confines of the limited real estate of the Poal user interface. To eliminate confusion about its purpose, there are ample warnings and notes from AOU about how it is to be used and how it isn’t.

Your belief that the downvote arrow should function in whatever way you see fit, specifically as a tool to punish anyone you disagree with, would run contrary to the terms of service of the site, and becomes subject to whatever penalties AOU decides to apply to your decision to act on that mistaken and ignorant belief.

By the way, per my above analogy, using the downvote to suppress off topic content would be equivalent to using your mouth to chew food
