So true. Rather silly really.Quote:

Interesting. Once a person's thread gets deleted any up or down reps associated with what's said in the thread vanishes as well.
I'm guessing you noticed this at the same time today that I did, with the same thread. Now, my OCD is killing me because I still have "Notifications = 1" at the top of my screen, but no way to check that notification and clear it.Quote:

however - really though - i've NEVER down voted any one (yet) - i don't see it as a means of disagreeing. i reserve that one for posts that contribute nothing to the conversation.
The reason you are down voted (I assume this is about when I down voted you earlier) is because you keep implying engineering is cheating. Fairplay, something you often quote in your posts, has nothing to do with engineering. It is to do with mods, bots, third party apps, etc. Your implication that Fairplay is directly related to engineering, implies (at least the way I see your posts) that engineering is cheating, which is a lie. I've seen other people tell you this, as well as myself, yet you seem to ignore us and continue doing so.Quote:

People are absolutely using it as a means to lash out against posts they disagree with. I just respond in kind and watch them self-implode.Quote:

Maybe that is the system working as intended? Keeping posts nice and fluffy with no strong opinons one way or the other?
I have also found that there are many mature posters like 2222 who may not share your views but at least look at things objectively and try not to lash out over a difference of opinion. But for every guy like 2222 there are fifty others who just want to attack you by any means necessary.
