Would you be supportive of an Un-Greatest Threads page? |
|
You know, a place to go to get all the good stuff you're not getting anymore from the Greatest Threads page?

22. I can see your anti-Obama threads whether or not they are on the "Greatest Page" |
|
They're right here in GD and GDP for all to see.
Nothing has changed there at all.
But now... simply bashing Obama doesn't get you automatically to the "Greatest Page". And that pisses you off.

31. What is stopping them from posting those "truths"? |
|
Simply not making the Greatest Page with every anti-Obama thread is enough to cause people to not post "the truth" as you call it?
All the anti-Obama threads of the past 24 hours that I can see right now seem to put the lie to your hypothesis.

Good luck finding it on DU. It's been censored.

53. Had you ACTUALLY read it, you would have noticed that Obama isn't even mentioned in the +61 thread. |
|
So now I must ask you, why did you lie?
Why couldn't you just read it?
And why do you suppose the second link has no recommendations?

55. Um... reread what I said |
|
A) I didn't lie.
I pointed out a thread that TELLS THE TRUTH about the CIA, and it doesn't mention Obama because Obama had (and has) nothing to do with it.
B) The second thread has no recs because it is pablum conspiracy theory bullshit that attempts to tie Obama to what the CIA did and is doing. I figured that is the thread that you MEANT, since in your world:
- If it implicates Obama as doing wrong, it is "truth" - If it exonerates Obama of wrong-doing, it is "cheerleading"

It would be kind of like dumpster diving. You end up slimy and stinky, but sometimes you get something good for your trouble. :rofl:
Rec'd. :evilgrin:
On edit: To be truly fun, I think they should be listed in order of negativeness. :evilgrin: I wouldn't want the actual number of negative votes to be seen, but a relative ranking would be outstanding.

The barrier though is that you can only see if it's less than zero, not how much less than zero it is.

23. Exactly! Threads that don't appear on the Greatest still found in all the forums... |
|
I guess we are going to need the following: a Greatest page, a Not So Great page, a Not So Great but not Stinkers page, an UnGreatest page and, of course, the Greatest Stinkers page and on and on and on or some DUers will not feel 'validated'.

26. I liked the idea another poster had |

to have a 'most controversial' page... where the recs and unrecs are added together (not algebraically, all as positive votes) and the OPs with the highest totals would reside.
