Vibrating G String Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1321275730' post='1437145'] although I reckon it should stay out of OT and keep it to valid information in the on topic parts of the site. So if someone constantly gives out wrong info you know not to listen to them because of the negs but the one with loads of likes. [/quote]This is the flaw with democracy, the most stupid and arrogant have the exact same value as the most reasoned and intelligent. When someone posts bad information it should be countered with a response that contains a conclusion and the thoughts to get to that conclusion. Simple click buttons are for fanbois who can't manage that kind of thought. We could label them the cognitive dissonance eraser buttons.

Of course most people won't admit that it will but it does. I tried to like all the posts in this thread I agree with but the software won't let me. It puts a limit on the love you can give. But I still have negs left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I have just proposed a public vote to be open this wekend. I'll announce it nearer the time but we'll let you vote three ways; rep system, like only, or nothing. Seems like the fairest way to do it! Plan is to post it up on Fri night for the weekend.

bremen Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 It gets better - this (the original?) from Benjamin Franklin: Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

Toasted Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 So... I have a green box with "7" written on it in my profile. I guess that's because 7 people have clicked "like" on one of my posts. The vanity in me would like to know if it's possible to search for which posts have been liked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
