FER FUCK SAKE PEOPLE...Why is unreccomend silencing someone and hide isn't?
Surely you know if I don't wanna hear your driveling bullshit I can simply hide the thread. Removing your
intelligent discourse from my eyes until goddamned eternity.

Why are people overstating the impact of unreccomend. SO WHAT, your shit don't make the greatest page. Big deal
keep it kicked and I'll see it more than if it was on the greatest page.

All of you Pulitzer writers and Nobel prize winners are still gonna get your awards DU's unrec feature is not going to impact that accomplishment.

Now, I'm drinking @ the airport bar in Ft. Myers. When I get to ATL, I betta not see any more complainin about that goddamned unrec feature.
GOT THAT? BEEOTCHES? :evilgrin:

5. i never use the recommend or hide features, and i never visit the greatest page...
but there is a difference. when you use 'hide', you are only hiding the post from yourself- when you unrec- you are trying to 'hide' the post from others as well.

25. Exactly. And apparently swarms of "them" are conspiring to hide "truth" from the
world. I had no idea the unrecommend feature was so powerful. I hereby suggest that in lieu of the next DU fundraiser, Skinner should commercially market UnRec!! the new invisibility agent ideal for making unwanted things disappear. Got some unexpected company on your doorstep? A few quick sprays of UnRec!! and all that clutter just melts away. (Warning: Not recommended for use on pets, or children under the age of 12.)

53. ot recommended for use on pets, or children under the age of 12.
unless said child under 12 is sitting next to you (or in an adjacent row) on an airplane screaming his/her head off, in which case use liberally.

17. The original OP seems to have gone viral.
the original OP's complain about their thread not being able to make it to the greatest page may be now mute, because it appears as if the OP's thread has gone beyond the greatest page had has entered into a realm all its own: Epic.

It has spawned so many side threads now, it's hard to keep up.

LOL nothing like failing up. LOL

49. This is the Greatest Thing to Hit DU in its Entire Existence
My god, I haven't seen such pounding of the drums since the Indians attacked Custer.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear Skinner did this just to fuck with us as some kind of observational experiment ala the Swan Station (Lost reference for those of you playing the home game)

One of these mornings, he's going to wake up from a 3 day binge and just start deleting accounts and then where will "your free speech" be?

18. But "HIDE" lacks the public humiliation factor of "UNREC"...unrec BLISTERS one's DU STREET CRED!
Edited on Fri Jul-10-09 11:28 AM by Amerigo Vespucci
The DUers who obsessively check their threads to see how many recommendations they have, how close they are to the "Greatest" page...these poor souls never taste the sting of the lash when their threads are "hidden." But one little "unrec" can start a cross-posting campaign in which they BEG for forgiveness, for RECOGNITION, and if they press the bar diligently enough, Dr. Pavlov eventually gives them a pellet.

"Recommendations? I dont need no steenking RECOMMENDATIONS."

:rofl:

50. It's like people who introduce themselves, with great pride, as "POWER SELLERS" on eBay
Edited on Fri Jul-10-09 11:53 AM by Amerigo Vespucci
Every time they do that, I look at them...bite my tongue...and think "Oh, you sell shit on eBay. Color me FLABBERGASTED."

:rofl:

Face it, xultar, there are "DU Regulars" who post their stuff, sit back, and admire it like Narcissus staring into that fucking wading pool:



OOOOOOOH! Look at ME! I'm ONE REC AWAY from THE GREATEST PAGE! OOOOOOOH!"



:rofl:

It's like that line in "Friends" where Ross asks Joey "Didn't you read Lord of the Rings in high school?" and Joey replies "No. I had SEX in high school."

...or children fucking? Is this a naked protest of unrec-ing the over rec-ed threads involving MJ's comparative greatness to bread that comes sliced? At least one thing is for sure, being naked sure will speed up that extra screening at the gate.
