Wow someone out there needs to layoff the coffee.
If you seriously think a dislike of a beverage is grounds for a spam/abuse vote then you have drunk far too much of the stuff.

The world, unfortunately, is full of elephants. And we get our share here as well.
Have a +5 to compensate in some small way.
Now, if it had been Bacon you had professed such revulsion for, you would rightly be hounded off the site... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Had I a revulsion for bacon I would not deserve such treatment, I would however need medical help for such an affliction.

Per The Coffee - perhaps they haven't had enough? Either by ingestion, or perhaps something akin to waterboarding?
Per the Bacon - I find the passion for bacon upon these boards a pressing need for medical attention. Lobotomy comes to mind.
On as close as I can get, at the moment, to a serious thought: odd species that we are, it is the crap that generally inspires us to strive to advance.

Does that make it taste better?
Nah. You can't make it taste netter!

Yeah that discussion yesterday went really off the road...
sorry for the trouble you got
BTW: my +5, because such a discussion should never be a reason to spam/abuse vote someone
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Im lazy, could I have a link to the message. So I can mark it as abuse on it again?
I gotten downvotes for comments made in the Lounge several years back... There is literally no end of insane people in this world.

I care nothing for the negative votes as they are only worth the paper they are written on, but spam/abuse can have more serious consequences.

We don't have downvotes now, but we used to. It was a narrow string to walk then, and now spam/abuse has taken its role.
BTW: You could always ask Chris to have a look at them, so I'm not too concerned. I view it as more annoying than a real problem.

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Hey it may happen, when I started it was common for half the staff in a department to smoke, every block of desks had its own set of ashtrays and you smoked far more than you did out outside of work as when anyone lit up everyone lit up.
Had you proposed a ban then you would have had a similar reaction.

Some 20 years before the smoke-situation was so bad, that the company decided to pay to everyone a kind of course to help quit smoking...
As for myself I never smoked and never drunk coffee - so I'm with you...

I remember those days, ashtray the size of a dinner plate just to the left of the mouse pad, greasy feel to the keyboard and a hacking cough in the mornings. Ahh the good old days...
You have a long way to go to beat MM, he got chucked off twice in a day, now that was funny. I wonder what other sacred cows can be sacrificed to stir the PC twats of the site up. And no I'll not be sacrificing the pig.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Don't mind you sacrificing the pig, especially sliced and fried, yummy

Mouse? what those new fangled devices, what's wrong with a 3270 green screen (with a candy keyboard if you were lucky, else you got a IBM one what is probably now used to anchor super tankers).

No, we're not hanging him until the weekend -- not everyone can get time off work, to watch.

What abuse?
You made a joke attacking coffee drinkers, and coffee drinkers made jokes attacking you.
If you can't take a joke, go stay in the kitchen -- the lounge ain't the place for prima donnas.

Who said it was you? you are being mighty defensive for an innocent man.
Fact someone (who being anonymous is unspecified) voted one of my posts as abuse (actually it was two abuse votes) now that who this comment was aimed at, yet you assumed it was aimed at you! go figure!

I don't see anything abusive -- the closest thing to abuse I saw was something about someone being a foreigner, which I confess I didn't understand.
Taking the piss is par for the course in the Lounge. If you take stuff like that seriously, you're in for some serious downers.

Then it probably wasn't you, however someone did find it abusive, else are using the abuse vote for something that it was not intended, either way it means that someone is particularly thin skinned if they feel abuse by
a, a post here
b, a dislike of coffee
