It's almost like they must have set up their tags specifically to show them stuff they won't like. I don't even thumb something down just because I don't like it, I just stumble on. I only thumb something down if it is truly bad. As in unreadable, un researched, spam... Though at first I thumbed down anything that I simply wasn't interested in because it seemed that was the purpose because they say if you thumb it down you won't see sites like that any more. But then I realized that there is an actual element of voting to it, and just because it isn't interesting to me doesn't mean it's "bad".

When you see someone going overboard and unfairly thumbing down, you can 'flag them'. For example: http://tinyurl.com/6o466g In the reviews list, you'll see that on the right there's a 'Flag This' dropdown. Click it, and you can vote if a person is helpful, a spammer, etc. As to what effect that has on the stumble cynic, only SU knows for now :) There is something you can do.
