So, what is pissing people off the most tonight? Tempers are running high, it seems...

[NRaleighLiberal]

Let's do a temp check...

[FSogol]

1. Other: Either how words can be redefined or significant other stopped putting out. n/t

[Kaleva]

2. I'm in a good mood. Do I select "other"?

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. If you want - I am glad for you!

:toast:

[TCJ70]

3. Other: Unrec...

...not me personally, but I guess it makes some people angry.

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. Yeah, some banter about that tonight...

[HughMoran]

7. My new theory is that "0" should be the lowest it goes

Threads may have less than zero, but nobody will know unless they rec it and it stays at zero. At least this removes some of the "I don't like you" unrecs that seem to have become rampant lately.

[BlueCaliDem]

17. The unrec discourages people from posting orig. threads.

No one likes rejection and news that some might find interesting won't be posted when many Duers and many trollidites can unrec without being required to post an explanation.

It doesn't encourage debate. It stifles it.

[Kaleva]

19. the number of unrecs has no bearing on the amount of debate a thread may generate.

It's easy to find threads with alot of unrecs but which also have many replies and views and just as easy to find posts with just recs but relatively few replies and views.

If the topic is interesting to many people, it will generate much debate regardless of how many unrecs it gets.

[pscot]

20. My guess

most of the unreccers are lurkers. Reluctant to post, but wanting to get their 2 cents in.

[Kaleva]

22. It's safer to rec or unrec without comment. Or often in my case...

I'm just too lazy to make a comment other then "K&R" or just rec or unrec a thread

[HughMoran]

5. Other: I'm happy

Y'all can kill yourselves for all I care.

[PopSixSquish]

11. Yes, I Laughed

time to go back to the "holier than thou" re-education camps again...

:hide:

[Laelth]

8. Other: Family coming for Thanksgiving.

Holidays are always stressful.

:dem:

-Laelth

[bigwillq]

9. That Donny Osmond

may win Dancing With the Stars. I know, earth-shattering, LOL, but I can't stand him.

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. I guess for someone, it is this Poll....unrec of a poll? Geesh.

[lpbk2713]

12. You still have enough room to add ... "I didn't get my pony yet"

Just a thought. :eyes:

[flvegan]

13. PETA wants to take away my turkey!!!1!
