3. Thank you
Been trying to talk to a relative about this issue and he just doesn't get it. He can't stand Michael Moore but will send this along anyway... just in case his curiousity wins out.

4. Ironic. Everyone says the new feature is supposed to keep silly subject lines off of the front page
(Good article content, however... just a misleading subject line...)

12. I think we should get rid of apostrophes altogether, even for contractions.
Yeah, it's radical. <damn!>

9. I'm sure that many "moderates" have tried to remove this post from "the greatest"
But the number of posters who recommend a post vis a vis the number of posters who are trying to censor (remove) from the "greatest page" or at least put it farther down the page by reducing the number of recommends is a big secret!

DU'ers who recommend a post for "the greatest" are not trying to exclude, censor or remove a post from anywhere on DU.

Those who un-recommend are censoring by removing a post from "the greatest" page and at least move it farther down "the greatest page" in order to reduce the number of views.

19. very good point(s).

as a side point, i don't understand why they at least don't show the tally # of recommendations vs. unrecs for clarity and transparency.

if, say, 100 people recommended a post, and 95 people voted it down, it's somewhat unhelpful/misleading to show only the net total of 5 positive votes.

30. Moving a post down a list is not "censoring" - unrecommending does not get the post deleted...sheesh

35. It's becoming clearer that this 'unrec' is not the benign feature it is proclaimed to be.

18. Not much of a dare ...
... when it can be done anonymously.

That's why I'm posting a reply to let you know that I did in fact un-recommend this thread -- not for Moore's film, but for the cheap ploy of this thread.

and unrec because lame dared you to.
good he needs to be called on his twisted "sicko" logic.
I believe you actually get his sense of humor.
I know I have been trying to understand it for over ten years.

24. The only Michael Moore film I've never watched. Been avoiding it.
Twelve minutes in and I'm done.

Burn the health insurance companies.

No private insurance for anyone.

Cover the insanely rich and the dirt poor the same.

32. Unrec'd because I don't like being challenged, and because it simply doesn't matter
but mostly because you dared me.

OP made a silly dare - talk about cutting off your nose...
