Should we have a fish hook rating?

I say that there should be a 'Doubt' rating (maybe of the X button in the 'Press X to Doubt' meme). I use 'thought-provoking', bu there are times where I doub the veracity of a post, whether the doubt is aimed at the poster or the LOLCow.

Then again, I wish that there was a rating that says 'You, the poster, are not dumb, but the LOLCow is being dumb in the content to which you linked.'

UPDATE:
*looks at @Adamska 's 'Disagree' rating, which already has an X*
[laugh track]

Yeah, if there were any real credence to ratings then that would be my biggest concern, because a lot of the time people will get a lot of horrifying, dumb and/or autistic ratings for posting something from a lolcow that was those things. So some of the most assiduous lolcow reporters get lots of negrates because, ironically, they're some of the best posters on the boards.

But at the same time, eh, the context is there for those who need it. I have felt a little bad about it though. Sometimes.

I was told that you are supposed to use 'Feels' in those situations.
I still prefer a prope rating, though. The Feels I have towards your post are not the Feels I get with second-hand Dumbness.
