I am so glad - Page 1

... that the over one hundred pages of the Music thread is not taking up all the space any more! 

You are welcome.

Okay.... what is with the agreeing/disagreeing thing? Oh come on. Why does it bother this site to have people who like their own stuff? It is laid out on the side menu as likes/dislikes, with the option to track .... just "likes", as well as "likes/dislikes!  Other posters have claimed to have used "liking" their own posts, as a way to keep track of the threads that interest them. So what if someone wants to like their own post? It is easily seen for all and all can jump to their own conclusions about that. As if it even matters!

Geeze. Just be consistent. I haven't made Oli my "picky list" as promised, yet, but that is part of it. It is coming, it takes time to do a proper proof-reading. Just be consistent with the terms and punctuation throughout the board, is all I want! If you are going to Captilize on one list, then use the same format on all subsequent lists. If you are calling something Hot Topic in one spot, don't call it Popular Topic in another spot.

Okay, thanks for allowing me to get that out in the open. Geeze. Stupid manipulations, is what it seems to me with agree vs. like! I am not an expert on what other sites do, as I just don't do all those popular ones, but this is the first time I've seen agree/disagree instead of like/dislike.  

Seems so silly to me.

Agreeing to a song? Come on! How about adding ... Maybe Oli can add a third choice.... a LIKE only Button? For those not so easily classified intentions of opinion speakers????

To think clicking on any of those buttons is someone's way of tallying up friends and enemies for future use is universal? I am not surprised some do. That is their problem.

Hey, i only asked !    Sorry, it did seem egocentric to me, to 'like'

everything you had posted.  I never quite got that explanation about

recording what  threds you have commented in, since Oli already

thought of that & the site does it for us. [Lists under User Search, just

click on your own screen name.  Or click the "Your Posts" button.]

Quite glad I don't have to have face-to-face verbal discussions with these

people,  must be highly disconcerting to suddenly have someone break

off and say "I liked how I put that", or "I really agree with myself on that

point" mid-conversation  LOL ...  [ If they don't do that, why do it here ?]

Anyways, Ruger apparently does not do it, even though she says she does

(I checked back on her posts, couldn't find one), so does that mean she told a

porkie ?  Which leaves Carlin out of the 2 who acknowledged, and he tells us

people say he is egocentric, all the time !   Unsurprisingly.

Er  ... Nota Bene ... JUST KIDDING,  guys !!!

Thank you, Hundmutter for divulging the secrets of "N.B."!  

That explanation of "liking" one's own posts as a type of personal marker, was from a discussion when the "likes/dislikes" button was first removed, way back when. 

And I never actually saw which posts Carlin is supposedly "liking" himself about, to tell the truth! As far as Ruger1, I have seen a few of her posts being "liked" by herself. I wouldn't be so quick to suggest she told a "porkie", (LOL at that one!) as I notice she does have a tendency to frequently edit her comments from their first appearance. So, I am more inclined to think she just thinks better of something and changes her mind. That has always been a woman's perogative! 

People will always find ways to use something beyond the original conception. Seems a bit anal to me to worry so much about this particular feature because now, instead of using the feature in a natural way, there is a whole back story that must now be considered! 

How tiresome!

The back story was with us in any case, nothing to do with the egocentricity,

but because of the 'Dislike Fairy / ies'  practices ...

I had my own dislike "fairy" back then, as I recall. LOL

Now, not too many clicks on my posts, either way! I wonder why? Surely, I still piss off the same people in the same way? And apparently no one agrees with me, either? I can't be that unique, can I?

I have held back my own inclinations to hit a fist or two, just because it seemed prudent not to give ammo to those who are keeping enemy/friends lists based on certain moral positions.

So which posts did Carlin "like" for himself??? I wanna know! LOL Pretty much any man I feel like worth knowing has that egocentricity thing!  IMHO. No wonder I need therapy!  

Bee,

The simple thing is don't use it if it is to tiresome and silly.

The admins all agreed that instead of calling them likes/dislikes we should switch them to agree/disagree which is closer to the true meaning of there purpose. After all some members made it into a liking/disliking the poster contest instead of agreeing or disagreeing with an idea/comment.

GSD,

That is pretty much what is happening, is my point. But any way, I am sure there are plans to correct the listing on the left menu to reflect agree/disagree instead of like/dislike? Or, I will just have to get myself busy with that list of irksome picky stuff, I promised Oli?

I will have some more free time to do that, now that I gave my CPA all that tax stuff. I am just blowing off some steam here. Tax season seems to do that to me!
