This is ridiculous. If a red cross at the bottom of one of your posts causes you so much grief you shouldn't be using social media at all. Leave it as it is. I know this might appear uncaring but if your mental state is such you should have the sense to look after yourself and not restrict everybody elses actions

Quoted from Civvy at last
Well I have seen it all now. You soft snowflake b@stards.
Hey Rob, let’s not have anything  negative about anything just in case someone gets PTSD from a Red Cross from a total stranger.  How about a pink cross (no offence intended to feminists, post op, pre op, trans op, non specific gender et fking cetera) which means ‘your post is fantastic, you are so special, but just maybe (if it’s ok with you) I might have a slightly different opinion. Nevertheless, your opinion is so so valid you should feel proud to have voiced it.

How ironic that this is being debated as we commemorate those who died or went  through genuine trauma almost daily.

You sad fuckkers.


Bravo 👏🏼 Couldn’t of said it better myself.

Keep it as it is, if you don’t like the system then turn it off. There’s already an option there for you. It’s that simple!

If there was an option to turn off the names of posters then people would have to either tick, cross or respond on the basis of what they read, not on the basis of whether they like or dislike the poster.

I would just like to add that although I am against the crosses as I think they are not needed and stops people having a debate I have turned them off so I can not see them which stops me ticking a good post, sorry about that,

I am not a snowflake and would stand up to anybody face to face no matter how big they are,

BUT

As civvy mention if I am feeling down I should stay away for a while until  I am feeling better,

So cross my posts as often as you like I will not see them but I would rather you talk to me and say why you think I am talking rubbish.

Cheers.

Quoted from AussieMariner
I suspect that if red crosses were no longer anonymous most of them would disappear as they are posted by cowardly Fuckwits who would run a mile from an actual debate.
I’ve noticed that the crosses appear almost immediately suggesting that there are ‘trolls’ constantly hovering on the site waiting to pounce and be negative, whereas the ticks trickle in suggesting that people who agree probably have a real life as well and respond when they have time.
So I really don’t give a sh1t and I take the crosses as a positive really, assuming that if anyone with a valid opinion disagrees they will almost certainly voice it.
If I had to vote I would go for the option of publishing the identity of the crossers just to thwart them.


I'd birch the bstrds or make them play No. 9 for Town
