To all those who asked for the agree and disagree buttons to be shown I am sorry but it simply did not work out.
Some members took advantage of having the opportunity to troll others and disagree with every post they made. One even disagreed when a member wished another member a speedy recovery from an illness.
The "Disagree" button has now been removed.
If you can still see the Disagree button please refresh your page by holding down the ctrl key and pressing the F5 key at the same time.

Disagree. It was useful to disagree without posting especially with those people that will always rant and get the last word in whenever you post an opposite view.

terrific decision, long over due , served no useful purpose , so now instead of pressing the button , you can express your opinion with a post , the agree button should also be removed , serves no useful purpose

I think the disagree button was a good thing, but it needed to show who was agreeing and disagreeing with the comments. I'd rather someone click disagree than argue the point because they're bias towards something or someone (I'm guilty of it too). And yeah I'd rather click disagree sometimes than have to explain to someone why I don't like a sire/idea/etc. that they love and will defend regardless

Some certainly used the button to get under the skin of others (not quite sure why ppl would take personally but they did). It is 1-100 that it was removed because Bruce complained!

I agree with you Matt, it should of stayed but with the names of those people who pressed agree/disagree displayed. I try and have an opinion and pull someone up on there BS and my posts get deleted. I rarely post anymore because of the over moderation.

So why do we still have the 'Agree' button? It's just as useless.

so let me get this right........in essence the disagree button has been removed because some people don't have a thick enuf skin to cope with a disagree ?
that is soft !

Oh dear.
My apologies but I can't help myself and I promise it's the very last post on this once great site...seems the original decision to bail out is now justified. So, allow me one last little morsel of decadence.
So, in a democratic society and even in the world of internet madness everyone has the RIGHT to agree or disagree with an opinion. GD some time ago decided, due to popular demand, to come up to speed with the rest of the world and introduce a "Like/Dislike" button. Due to a minuscule minority of whinging sooks, (that coincided with the appearance of a delusional ego maniac who is strangely conspicuous by his absence on this thread) the executive decision was made (at their insistence) to soften the incredible mental destruction it was causing to the minority by introducing a more sedate 'Agree/Disagree' button.
Oh, the agony of it all...
While the rest of the world goes about weathering the blows of normal internet conundrums, real life trials and tribulations, and normal life's ups and downs, the three stooges of GD change the course of internet history by whinging so much that the PTB of the famous GD buckle and say..."Alright, alright, I can't take any more of your whinging, dummy spitting crap and here, for Christ sake, you get what you MINORITY sooky la las want and bugger the rest. So it comes to pass that the evil "Like/Dislike" button is replaced by the more "appropriate" "Agree/Disagree" button.
Well, enter phase two... The jolly good GD members continue to voice their (diminishing) democratic right to an opinion and continue to "Like/Dislike" opinions and debates with the watered down "Agree/Disagree" button. Before I go on, may I just add that there are still millions upon millions of people all around the world dying of starvation, famine, and dysentery... But, bugger me, the "Like/Dislike" - "Agree/Disagree" button is more important...yep.
Anyway, the MINORITY still accumulate record numbers of "Disagrees" and the dummy spitting escalates once again. Once again, the GD PTB buckle again because of minority sooking and BAN the "BUTTON"! All on the premise that it was misused once in bad taste... Just my opinion, but that is no better than the lunatics that are calling for a Greyhound racing BAN because of minority wrong doers. If the same principle was applied to the rest of the world everything you can think of would be banned because there is nothing without fault.
So...this brings me to a conclusion and I'll keep that to myself. Although this is a trivial matter, it is the way in which it has been decided which is the worry. Surely a consensus of sorts could have been put forward to determine the MAJORITY'S wishes? Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to matter much. The "Disagrees" on this post resonate the sound of democratic opinion, don't they?
Tally ho.
Be good and good luck to all you non whinging "Agree/Disagree" button pushers.
