I hate it when people downvote every argument they disagree with

The down voting process should be used to show that you think an argument doesn't follow the standards of what an argument should be.

Yeah, it sucks, but LIFE IS A ZERO SUM GAME. ----------------

I dislike it, but I would not say I hate it. For me to hate something, it needs to actually have a degree of importance. The down-vote has no real negative effect on me. I do not hate it when people do that; I simply disagree with it.

Side: No

I guess I can where you getting from this but, all I feel you are doing is arguing from a pedantic point of view rather than looking at the core of the topic.

Though I like your manner of distinguishing hate from dislike because I do feel that people use language that is too strong at times.

I do recognize that I tend to take an incredibly focused approach to many topics (occasionally a single word in a serious topic causes me to switch sides), but I find that proper wording is incredibly essential to a coherent debate and argument. I find that deconstruction on any ground has its uses. For instance, this debate has a rather trivial basis: is there really any importance in these down-votes? The differentiation between dislike and hate, however, was brought into light. Maybe next time someone constructs a topic, the individual puts some more thought into word choice.

If I can make an individual think about an issue more closely, which results in a more well constructed debate, a purpose has been served, and I believe, regardless of the topic, I have been successful.

Side: No
