Who else doesn't give a flying fornicate about the rec/unrec?

[blondeatlast]

If my perceptions are right, this thread will sink like a brick.

1. I either Recommend or Ignore

I don't get this whole argument about this feature. Don't some of you have other things to do?

[sharp_stick]

2. It's all about rec / unrec

my entire life revolves around counting how many people agree with any and all of my posts and deriding those that would demean them and me by clicking on a button. This is of course a massive conspiracy funded by George Soros or the DLC depending on which of my posts is being unrecced, the unforgivable bastards!

Anybody that would dare unrec a thread of mine and take it off the hallowed Greatest Page should be racked and then boiled in oil for their transgression.

Your posts however are so "full of fail" that they must be unrecced off the face of the planet. ;-)

3. Me!

:bounce: Who cares anyhow? The Internet is the embodiment of ephemera....

[kirby]

4. Yep, so sick of it...

If I ran DU, I would start tombstoning people who complain about it on a new thread.

[CTyankee]

25. Off with their heads!

I LOVE it! It's such fun to read these threads and watch everybody just explode...no Teabagger could EVER stir as much bile as gets spilled over the rec/unrec controversy!!

It's amazing, really...I'm thinking about starting a new drinking game around it...LOL...:toast:

5. Me! But then

I have never thought I needed someone else to validate my opinions.

8. I unrec all the time... or just ignore. In fact, I very rarely rec any thread.

Not that I disagree with all threads... I just don't go out of my way to rec things whereas I don;t mind taking the time to drop a thread's rec-count. And if ANYONE whines about recs/unrecs in a thread then I give an immediate unrec regardelss of the thread topic or content. Spite is new compassion nowdays...

On the flip side, I could care less if people rec/unrec my threads.

9. I barely care enough to respond to this thread

If there's something I don't like about a thread I can ignore it.

If I REALLY don't like it I can always respond and make my opinions known.

Conversely if I really like something I can say so.

What fucking good is the rec/unrec feature?

Keep it, I don't care. Or get rid of it, I don't care about that either.

I'm amazed I'm even wasting this much time saying I don't care about it.

I will kick this thread later to keep it hot.

[Ozymanithrax]

10. I never unrec. Occassionally, I rec a thread if I think it is good or important. n/t

[KansasVoter]

11. I do, you need both or neither. Neither would work for me.

[Bitwit1234]

12. Don't make no difference to me.....

[Nordmadr]

13. I have to fight an urge every time to unrec a thread where

peope whine about their unrecs. It just really agitates me for some reason. We're all a bunch of attention wh*res.

[sufrommich]

14. It's a feature on an internet forum. Anybody who obsesses

about it needs to get a real life.

[SargeUNN]

15. I am trying to discipline myself to totally ignore that feature

it has about as much meaning as what the ant that just crawled pass me is named. Totally useless.

[madfloridian]

16. When it is used in an organized way it can be harmful.

And it is quite often.

[HuckleB]

17. +1

[Upton]

18. Are all the folks who want to keep the feature

some kind of organized opposition? Considering the results of this poll, that doesn't appear likely..

19. Harmful how? It's an internet forum. How is an unrecced post

going to affect your life?

[KharmaTrain]

20. Never Have, Never Will

I could care less about recs...I look for the most interesting discussions not the most "popular".

[TwilightGardener]

21. People will rec insanely stupid stuff, and unrec puppies. So...not sure why

anyone takes it seriously.

[petronius]

22. The only time I notice it is when someone starts a thread about it

Otherwise I pay no attention to it...

[MrScorpio]

23. It gives some people the ability to employ a lazy form of confrontation

Why bother defending your own position when you can just crap on the positions of others anonymously?
