I have been a member of this site for almost a year. In that time I have used two downvotes. I have since been cut off of downvotes for the past week. If you are only looking for members who agree with what is said here or tell you how great the site is, just let me knpw and I'll move on to another site.

That must be a glitch, 'cause i use down votes when i deem it necessary and never have a problem with it. So, not sure why you are having it, but i think it is a glitch.

Yeah, I think that might be a glitch of some sort. You're supposed to be allowed five downvotes per day. You might want to send a PM to Kevin Ryan and ask him about that. I'm not sure what the problem might be, but sorry about that.

Everyone should have the right to express their opinion. I don't dv anyone unless they do something extremely stupid. I usually just laugh at most of the chaos that happens after a bad game. I'm not here to kiss anyone's butt.... and I'm not here to force my thoughts to be everyone else's. I'm here to talk Tennessee football without the foul language and insults being thrown my way because I have an opinion. The stuff Wes and Ryan does isn't half bad either... ..... JMO.

I agree. Some people on here want to use downvotes just because they disagree with what is being said. I think that discourages good healthy discussion. IMO downvotes should only be used when someone is getting out of line for attacking someone personally or saying something racist or something like that.
I don't agree with every opinion expressed here, but I welcome the different points of view. If we all agreed on everything, there wouldn't be any need to get on here and read comments.

Good post. I could not agree with you any more.
This game has brought out some real crap on the board....it was a frustrating one to be fair. This is supposed to be a place where you can disagree and move on.....instead we now have camps forming. Hell, I got called 'extremely stupid' yesterday for pointing out a play that everyone in the world would call stupid (running a third and distance short of the sticks). This dynamic is a new one.
Look at a guy like Drizzle. Man, he drove me nuts at first....I even blocked him. Now, I love having him around. I don't agree with him a lot of the time but he takes a view and sticks with it.
Let's see how the board bounces back after a couple of days.
