Exactly. And when I see users come to Meta with a statement like "I have accepted some answers because I felt pressured", I feel there is something wrong.

And then there are people that see who made a meta post and downvote it because of that. Savages. I have my own crew of haters, but not nearly as many as you have accrued. Also, good to see you around again, been keeping quiet or oppressed?

I know I personally have answered questions where I have seen people respond in the same/similar way. And in some cases be the first and only one to respond.

I'm going to start making noise about this after the holidays. We seem to have arrived at a consensus, so we really need an official answer on if it is, or is not going away. I feel that displaying it is a tacit endorsement of the problematic behavior it creates, and I really hope we get rid of it soon. We should be encouraging people to find questions to answer based on their knowledge and abilities, not the probability of an acceptance bonus.
