elder perry news is recent example...post has 19 thumbs down, which in theory means they don't like the news. however my understanding of the "thumbs down" is to indicate your displeasure with a post (i.e. troll, or something silly like "i like 5 guys more than in n out") whereas when someone posts something sad we are left to thumb down the person and the post, which is really not what they need...they need a consoling CB tear without kicking them (or thumb-downing them) when they're already down.

just my .02
