I think we've had this discussion three or four times already and it never wins.
I've had people 'disagree' with lots of posts of mine that were just stating facts or answering questions other people had.
You learn to just ignore the 'disagrees' and realize it's just the internet.

I clicked “disagree” in support of your post.If someone is in disagreement they should be required to post the reason and NOT just hit a button. I disagree with the Disagree Button.
This is the Internet, where ideas, not bad vibes, are welcome. Ideally, anyway

Sensitive much @JulienW ? I've seen a lot of childish things on the forum here but this may take the cake.

Here's an "oldie but goodie" thread on this topic.
Remove the 'Dislike' Button?

For someone that doesn't want the disagree button you sure use it a lot without posting a reason.
I have never used it except when someone uses it on me first. I then hit them 3 to 1 because they should post their reason and not hide behind a cheap "hate" type button.For someone that doesn't want the disagree button you sure use it a lot without posting a reason.

I disagreed because: GROW UP.
It is a pretty ambiguous button and it can have lots of meanings.
Someone disagreeing to someone else's post is just one of them. There are the petty little back and forths like your 3 to 1, there's when it has more like a funny meaning (like on your initial post on this thread) and there are some who never write anything and choose to use the dislike button as a bookmark so they know where they stopped reading.

It was DISLIKE at first, so they compromised and now it is disagree.
I think you get a free Tesla Roadster 2 if you have the most Dislike/Disagrees when the car is released,

Can't we agree to disagree? (see what I did there)
1) Sometimes other posters have already replied with all the reasons to disagree, and there's nothing to add. Forcing people to reply is just going to end up with "I agree/I disagree* posts". Of course, those posters can Like all the post that Disagreed, but then it's just not as obvious how much the original post was Disagreeable.
2) Sometimes a post is just that dumb that it doesn't deserve the effort of a reply.
3) Disagreeing with a post that disagrees with Disagree is _always_ funny. Explaining a joke is _always_ not funny. (Autological example). Therefore there is a need for the ability to Disagree without posting.
Corollary: Disagree in response to Disagrees of a post disagreeing with Disagree demonstrate a lack sense of humor.
4) Don't Nosedive.
* Late 1990s, when I was on a Portuguese Usenet group, there was a user who'd only ever post replies with "concordo" or "não concordo". We just found it dumb-but-funny.
I liked your post, but I think I might be stuck in a contradiction.
I think it needs to be "Can't we agree to disagree sometimes?" in order to escape.
Because I hit "Disagree" and you seem to need a response, so: I did it because that's one of the stupidest things I've ever read here.
Normally I wouldn't post such negativity or something so "attack-oriented", but you did request it, so there you go.
I've gone back and asked (usually in PMs) why I've had dislikes before. Once was a mistake. Every other time it was actually valid and edifying. Mostly I just go "huh" and move on.
This is troll behavior and can result in a suspension or a ban. Please stop it. There is no reason to retaliate just because someone "disagrees" with you, whether they post a reason or not.
Everyone, please just be kind to each other. This is a discussion forum for people to chat about Tesla and related topics. It's ok to disagree on stuff. Just try to disagree without being disagreeable. Please post and rate others' posts in good faith, rather than in spite. There is no need for pettiness.
PS: This was meant in good humor, if it wasn't obvious (and it might not have been). Some smileys to counterbalance things:Because I hit "Disagree" and you seem to need a response, so: I did it because that's one of the stupidest things I've ever read here.

So to overcome the embarrassment of being told that someone disagrees with you feel the need to hunt down a bunch of statements that you actually do not disagree with and claim to disagree? Even my 3 year old has found more effective ways of dealing with disappointment.
