I think that you and similar people who are confused at my reaction (e.g. Oli, e.g. at least a little bit Rob) are basically … colorblind to something?
Like, I think that because it seems so obvious to you that agree/disagree is just about true/false that you’re not seeing how many many LWers would not and are not using it in that manner.
On a forum made up of just Kajs, Olis, and Robs, I would not have negative feelings about the way the second vote is used. But I think that its current agree/disagree label is much more ambiguous for people unlike yourselves, and so you’re not seeing why it needs to be more carefully specified (if we want distress like mine to be less in the mix).
It’s certainly possible that we’re colorblind to something, that’s why I was hoping for examples of what those alternative meanings could be so I could better understand what that something is. (And feel like I got them from Said’s response.)
