    they can have 'NOT AGREE" instead of wtf, there is agree and there is not agree, because "not agree" is more polite than wtf, honestly wtf is a bit insulting, so changing it to " not agree" make the forum less toxic in my opinion.

    Disagree is the word you are looking for.

    Agree:
    have the same opinion about something.

    Disagree:
    have or express a different opinion.

    WTF is meant for people like me...That's on the funny side of things. 

    Seriously,
    Millennial's take offense to this.  Before the last 20 years and back millions of years before, it would be totally appropriate.   Between politics and the millennial's getting laws past our freedom is being taken away.

    Previous to the past 20 years, things were not as safe but guess what "thats life".  Living life was more worth the risk.  Well at least on paper things are more safe now, but really their not.  It's just as dangerous only in an odd direction it's just as bad.

    You were able to be an individual :)

    I do, The OP simply did a temporary snap, I do it all the time :)

    Like two weeks ago, I snapped and told my boss, I want to go to a different department.  I like him and my department.  But I couldn't take a particular subject anymore and went berserk.

    A WTF troll is better than a quote chain troll.  So up votes for WTF button.

    I'm more annoyed at not having a disagree button.   Feels a little like some kind of college pre-reality safe place design decision.

    It's pretty much the package software for the forum system we use. *shrugs* 

    But you're so right on the "quote chain troll" :D

    Yeah, but isn't it kinda a bug? If you edit your message, quotes fuck up.

    Is there an infraction for excessive WTFing?

    I’m pretty sure I had never used the wtf button prior to this post. If it were to get removed then all of my posts from then on out would just be

    WTF?

    I always thought WTF expressed a generally negative reaction to a post, but in such a way as not to be obnoxious about it.

    But it could mean other things, such as: this is unclear; I don't understand; how could you think this way; how could anyone think this way; this caught me off guard; this is offensive; this is bizarre; etc.

    Technically it ought not be anything negative, because the poster you WTF gets forum points. Why give forum points if WTF is a bad thing?

    A more interesting but related question is who holds the most forum WTFs? I believe that distinction goes to @Delete5230, currently at 221 and counting.

    Egotism is the anesthetic that dullens the pain of stupidity, this is why when I try to beat my head against the stupidity of other people, I only hurt myself.

    Honestly, I normally follow @Gdemami 's lead and LOL something I really disagree with.

    I normally reserve the WTF for those very rare occasions when someone absolutely baffles me on the point they are trying to make, especially if it's in some condescending or conciliatory tone. 

    Also used if a post is totally outrageous, like promoting hatred or other some such stupidity.

    If anyone is going to be looking down from their high horse, its gonna be me.

    ;)

    Go ahead folks, feel free to bury me.

    I use LOL and WTF depending on the situation.

    Something can be funny. Or can be too stupid that it's funny. Which I would use an LOL

    Something can be crazed ramblings. Or a company might do an unsuspected move and a poster is the first to report it. In both cases I might use a WTF. In the second one the WTF isn't towards the poster, but towards what the company (in this example) is doing.

    I suspect he escalated his vendetta and got a time out.  

    But you know the first rule of forums....we don't talk about Fight Clu....err moderation.

    But as it turns out, I am wrong. Ironically, the OP for this thread has 547. Impressive.
