Would you be supportive of an Un-Greatest Threads page?

[BuyingThyme]

You know, a place to go to get all the good stuff you're not getting anymore from the Greatest Threads page?

[EFerrari]

1. LOLOL! What a great idea.

:rofl:

[CreekDog]

2. Yes

i would finally have a shot at getting somdthing on a page with "Greatest" in the title! :D

[provis99]

3. No

but I won't unrecommend this page, either.

[EFerrari]

4. That's just perverse

:silly:

[BuyingThyme]

5. Why would you be against such a thing?

[BlooInBloo]

6. I don't feel strongly about it, but I wouldn't, if it were up to me.

[FarCenter]

7. A "Greatest Stinkers" page

[BuyingThyme]

8. The place to go to find the truth about the Obama administration.

[scheming daemons]

20. Could be useful for a freeper visitors looking for material to attack Obama with...

...so you have a point

[BuyingThyme]

21. Wow. You really hate truth. That's what it comes down to for you I guess.

You just hate truth.

[scheming daemons]

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.

[BuyingThyme]

24. People who bash Obama get people kicked off DU.

Why can't you just admit that it's the truth that has you worried.

[scheming daemons]

25. If "the truth" has me worried, why am I reading all your posts?

Your comment is not logical.

[BuyingThyme]

27. You're worried that people will post truths that do not serve blind followers of Obama.

[scheming daemons]

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.

[BuyingThyme]

37. The biggest Obama story at the moment is his support for illegal CIA activities.

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

[scheming daemons]

52. I've read it. Not only has it not been censored, it's got a +61 rec/unrec!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=6024210&mesg_id=6024210

Or perhaps you didn't mean THAT thread, since it actually... you know... TELLS THE TRUTH about the CIA thing.




Perhaps you meant this one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6021647


(psst... I read that one too)

[BuyingThyme]

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?

[scheming daemons]

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"

[BuyingThyme]

56. Sorry, but new lies won't make the old lie go away.

Remember yesterday when I taught you what CENSORSHIP is? Do you want me to do LYING now? How bout TRUTH?

If you want to find the truth, you're going to have to leave DU for a little bit. Oh, and YOU HAVE TO READ FOR REAL:

[Beetwasher]

29. LOL! You Mean The Twuth

Why don't we start a new group called "Buying Thymes Demented View of the Obama Adminstration and since I can no longer have my idiot troll friends rec my shitty threads up to the top of greatest page I need another option to have my tripe honored".

[BuyingThyme]

33. You're the only troll in this thread, Beetwasher.

But thanks for letting everybody know.

[Beetwasher]

35. Wahhhh!!!

Gosh BT, I'm so sorry your crap will never see the the top of the greatest page anymore. :rofl:

[BuyingThyme]

39. Keep it up. I love exposing your kind of trash.

[Beetwasher]

41. Send Me To The Ungreatest Page!!!

Off w/ his rec!

[BuyingThyme]

44. Isn't your mommy supposed to be keeping an eye on you when you're on the net?

[Beetwasher]

45. No, That Would We Be Your Mommy

She's under the desk.

[BuyingThyme]

46. Now you've gone from calling me a troll to saying my mom is sucking your dick?

You are really a horrible person. How long do you think it will be before they suspend you permanently?

[Beetwasher]

48. Where Did I Say That?

She's cleaning the floor.

[BuyingThyme]

50. You're the sickest person ever to post on DU.

[Beetwasher]

51. Why Thank You Very Much!

I'm honored! How about a sickest poster page? Hmmm, I like that!

[Greyskye]

9. I think I like it!

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.

[DCKit]

14. Beats visiting that "other" place. n/t

[rateyes]

10. Yes. But, it would require more bandwith.

Therefore, it probably won't happen.

[LoZoccolo]

11. I had an idea to create a browser toolbar to generate one.

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

[nyrnyr1994]

12. For some reason this commercial popped into my head...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbbnmLz3XdU&feature=related

[jgraz]

13. If unrec survives, I would be strongly in favor of such a feature

That's where all the interesting posts will be.

[Canuckistanian]

15. It's called Free Republic

There a vast archive of Un-greatest posts there.

[BuyingThyme]

16. A sad indictment.

[GreenPartyVoter]

54. But true. I unrec trolls left and right now that we have the option The page may be made

up mostly of deleted posts by Name Removed.

[LynneSin]

17. Yeah, that's called going into the forums and reading them

are we all that fricking lazy?

[Spazito]

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'.

[PretzelWarrior]

18. no. that is just mean.

[scheming daemons]

19. Yeah... it's called GD and GDP and LBN and every other forum here

This notion that threads that don't make it to the greatest page are lost down some memory-hole is ludicrous.

[reflection]

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.

[BuyingThyme]

28. Yes, that's pretty much the same thing I suspect.

[Iggo]

30. Actually, they could just get rid of the Greatest page...

...and that would pretty much fix the problem.

Right?

[Beetwasher]

32. We Should Start A NEW GROUP JUST FOR YOU!!!

Why don't we start a new group called "Buying Thyme's Demented View of the Obama Adminstration and since I can no longer have my idiotic troll friends rec my shitty threads up to the top of greatest page I need another option to have my tripe honored".

[BuyingThyme]

34. Wow. Beetwasheer is not a full-fledged stalker troll.

[Beetwasher]

36. Yes! I'm Stalking You!! Lookout Missy!

Here I come! :rofl:

[BuyingThyme]

38. If coming to somebody's thead to call him or her a troll is not stalking,

what is?

I love making fools of dishonest people.

[Beetwasher]

40. Booga Booga! Yes, Posting In Your Threads And Highlighting Their Stupidity Is Stalking You!!!

Gosh. Better get a court order! :rofl:

[BuyingThyme]

42. If you think I'm a troll, please alert me.

[Beetwasher]

43. Nahh, Better To UR You

And more fun!

[Forkboy]

47. Oy vey.

[BuyingThyme]

49. Well put.

[HOLOS]

57. YES
