Id like to see a thumbs down option in forum along side that thumbs up. Its like looking at the clear water before jumping off a bridge but not gazing a little deeper to see the rocks just below.

There's been several threads about this... Most of them get a few responses, like this one, where we express that we do not want a thumbs down option.
If you like something, Like it.
If you don't... don't.
If you REALLY don't, make a post saying why. If people agree with you... they will like your post.
This has been mentioned several times. The community wouldn't use it fairly and it would be abused. A perfect example is how the thread tagging is already abused.
Thumbs up is being abused just as bad as a thumbs down would be except that youd have both sides of the coin instead of just the one. The simile is universal :)
Thats my last post on the subject, let it ride.
That's a paper argument. Potential abuse from the thumbs up option is significantly less negative than potential abuse from a thumbs down option.
