first thing i thought of too


i think it's pretty cool


Why did the "No offense, but that app really blows." comment got down voted, and the "i think it's pretty cool" comment up voted? They both voice opinions, only difference: one is positive, the other is negative.

Aren't people allowed to not like an app?


It is downvoted because it's a useless criticism with no value to anyone. Original poster "put himself outthere" in a way that is helpful to the community, and that guy was just trying to be mean and probably hasn't done anything himself. Downvoted to show original poster that we appreciate his response and do not support troll-like behavior.


Pointless negativity is generally much worse for a community than pointless cheerfulness. You're allowed to dislike anything at all, but this community requires that you express that dislike in a way that's a little more thoughtful than "Your app blows." fairlyodd's comment was wildly inappropriate for the context it was in.


Please post your personal email address and I'll definitely send you feedback sometime in the future. All i can say at the moment is that feedback is on it's way from a phone or computer!
