Could Mumsnet add a disagree button alongside the current reaction options?

Can we have a disagree button please?

This is Mumsnet after all so I don’t understand why buttons are limited to Thanks, Agree, Love & Support. The most innocuous topic can turn into a bunfight on here so why not give us a disagree button? I don’t always have time or energy to quote and then explain to a poster why I disagree with them. Also as a poster it would be equally useful to know that someone disagreed with me as agreed with me.

No thanks. The whole idea of the recently-introduced reactions was to make them positive.

If you disagree with a post then - as they say - 'use your words'. This is a discussion forum, not facebook or reddit.

Yes this, posters grown adults were respondong passive aggressive laugh emojis to people that is why.that was taken away, use your words if you disagree.

I would love a disagree button. Using “my words” gets me in trouble.

What did you do?! You fiend.

Mind you, I’m was on the receiving end of a collective MNHQ bollocking for mentioning my DP feeds wood pigeons in the garden. So beat that.

You dont have to tell someone you disagree with them.

(but if there was a “disagree” button I’d press it for your post!) 😂

Can't see why anyone needs that?

The purpose of the reactions is to show support.
