I'm saying that in the past i have accidentally clicked the wrong one & didn't know how to get it rid of it. maybe they were saying thumbs-up! that's what I want to believe and just accidentally hit the down thumb. so I wouldn't take stock in that at all. That's just my two cents from Ohio cuz we love Stephanie and everybody.
