  • I don’t subscribe to the idea that tweets or message boards or ideas or ‘silence’ is violence.

    The upvote system was invented to put relevant discussion to the top, and hide irrelevant discussion. What people have done with it is use it as a like/dislike button.

    If that’s what it was, that’s what it would be called. Like Facebook, which has an actual ‘like’ button

    But I do think people who even interact with the system are losers. That’s my personal, anecdotal, opinion of them




  • Strange, it’s displaying as if I replied to a different comment than I intended to.

    But really, I’m just mocking people who downvote others because they don’t agree with their comment. I think it’s really lame.

    I’d like a place to talk to people, about contentious issues. I personally never use the downvote button and only occasionally even use the upvote button.

    When I see a perfectly reasonable comment with -50 downvotes within minutes of posting … it makes me laugh at everyone who just can’t hit that downvote button fast enough.

    So I’m really just mocking those people
