I am also feel, If we use -1 on *non vote* threads it has the effect of drying out the conversation. I personally use 0- to say, "I do not like sound of it". But on vote threads if one do not like it, they have to use -1 and say so where it does not Veto.
I know there was a time we saw -1 less often, may be we were not have enough close conversations. Anyway I do not want to see -1 start flying on everything. my two cents Thanks Srinath On 6/16/07, Davanum Srinivas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Sanjiva, I really don't want to pick on any instance in particular. IMHO, you get better bang for the buck (at least with me!) if you just state you don't like something and we'll work together to make it better. I guess it's a cultural issue as well (with me!). So if more people would like to see more -1's. who am i to say something...let the -1's fly! I personally can't understand why wielding the club is more efficient when a fly swatter will do. You will not hear me crib about -1's again if that's the consensus which i think it has now become. IMHO, -1's just stop the discussion in its tracks and it's rampant use is an unhealthy sign in my opinion. Guess, i have to get used to it. thanks, dims On 6/16/07, Sanjiva Weerawarana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > +1 .. I don't understand why -1 is a bad thing either.
