Todd, Jerome I just gotta ask...

by zerosumgame, Fri May 23, 2008 at 09:11:09 PM EST

Do you really want to become a suburb of another blog site?

Take a peek at the posts HR'ed today and weep for your system. It is being gamed by people organizing on another site that has fallen into the hate meme to come here and take this one over too. Why do you allow this? Have you given up any mod duties or admin responsibilities under the weight of the zombies and stalkers? If you need help I can do a couple hours in the evenings to weed out the abusive ones.

Like you're an honest broker, o great, fair arbiter.

Re: lol (2.00 / 3)

I have given 1 HR in the last month and only because the feeb claimed every HRC supporter was racist. Let me guess, you uprated that didn't you? As to my fairness, try a little honesty one of these days.

Re: lol (2.00 / 2)

and I just checked and I got 5-6 in the last few minutes so any pretense of honesty or fairness from BHO supporters is proven false.

Re: lol (2.00 / 1)

Yep. All us Obama supporters aren't honest. We're a pretty monolithic group of kool-aid-drinking-liberal-elitist-not-de mocrat liars.

John McCain is surprisingly bad for this country

until you take care of them they belong to you. You have the choice to go along to get along or to stand up for a principle. Not my status , that has nothing to do with it. No, you can control the worst abusers and refuse to participate. All it takes for evil to flourish is for a few good people to avert their eyes.

So can we expect your diary asking Clinton supporters to stop abusing the rating system later tonight, or is that going to have to wait until tomorrow?

Re: lol (2.00 / 1)

I think this comment would invalidate you as a serious candidate for mod-hood. You lump an entire diverse group and label them as one, acting with the same motives and having identical agendas.

If you are unable to differentiate, I suggest you are not able to mod with an even hand.

I just came from a thread where a Clinton supporter was passing out TRs left right and center to any number of comments that where even mildly critical of Clinton, yet, somehow I managed to not equate that member with all Clinton supporters, go figure...

It seems to me your real concern is that the demographics of the site are changing, and ou want to purge it. (shrug) Change happens, social evolution. There are other sites you may frequent that are just as mono-cultural for Clinton as kos is for Obama.

Kind of thin (2.00 / 1)

what people? what site?

by Bargeron on Fri May 23, 2008 at 09:14:56 PM EST

This is a progressive blog (2.00 / 3)

What point of that does this diarist not understand?

Hillary has been haemorrhaging supporter and financiers for the last four months.

Is MYDD a dead enders site?

Never has been, never will be.

How long has zerosumgame even been here?

Re: This is a progressive blog (2.00 / 1)

Right. Some people don't understand why many of us dislike Hillary Clinton. The main reason is this: Hillary is little more than a DINO! She's been that way, at least on some issues, for quite some time. But she's gone almost completely over to the Dark Side as this campaign has rolled on. It's really sad that her supporters -- many of whom were (are?) progressives -- are so blinded by their loyalty to Hillary that they can't see that the woman is NOT what they think she is!

Re: Todd, Jerome I just gotta ask... (2.00 / 7)

Look at the top diary right now. Don't talk about MYDD being gamed by people organizing on another site. 80% of those people have never even posted on this site. They come straight from His44 and No Quarter, Taylor Marsh just to make sure the diaries make the rec list.

Re: Todd, Jerome I just gotta ask... (2.00 / 1)

Some typos above. Apologies for those. But my comment is even longer than this diary. And shouldn't this be banned for

1. Denigrating the site.

Calling out admins
Having no content

Re: Todd, Jerome I just gotta ask... (1.00 / 3)

I realize you never did your homework or went beyond basic math but it is a concept from games theory, when you grow up a bit you might be able to comprehend it. But your current behavior bodes ill on that ever coming to pass...

Your sig line made me LOL! Well done, although I found it hard not to think of Jan Palach immediately. Don't worry, it's an obscure reference and I only know it because I'm Eastern European.

Re: Todd, Jerome I just gotta ask... (2.00 / 4)

Still waiting for you to tell me to grow up too.

God, zerosumgame, if you are OLDER than me, then it just proves what T.S. Eliot said:

Do not let me hear
Of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly,
Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession,
Of belonging to another, or to others, or to God.
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless.

Yeah, by all means, give this the guy the keys to the store.

I TR'ed him earlier today because he walked into a thread where some folks were getting pretty hotheaded and called somebody a fool.

I imagine that wasn't his only bout of namecalling today.

I would love for Jerome and Todd to read (2.00 / 5)

what has been HR today.

The attacks on Josh on his post especially.

Hillary makes a gaffe yet it's the Clintonites who go in full smear mode. This is a great idea. Todd and Jerome SHOULD read the H.R.

Maybe they''ll even read linfar's masterpiece on the Rec. List.

Love the tags too.

Re: I would love for Jerome and Todd to read (none / 0)

well, being HR'ed and bitched at by you only proves I am correct, you only hide anything that is true that you are scared of.

You've insulted 2 commenters on this thread and you've insulted me personally twice.

I have no idea why you would get H'rated.

...is a great big place. People visit, some stay and some go. There is more than one point of view on the Rec list now. Frankly, I think it's giving mydd.com some credibility. For once.

Re: Todd, Jerome I just gotta ask... (2.00 / 1)

Jerome et al

This diary is a highly inappropriate, and you should take it down. Please uphold the rules you've articulated. If I could troll-rate, I would.

Is there a place to provide site feedback without having to compose a diary?

Re: (2.00 / 1)

Well i dont know about who is being HR'ed. But i have a post from today, that i agree was a little angry, and it got a total of 11 ratings. 7 mojos, 4 troll, and 1 HR. I am just saying how can be that different. I wish we could agree to disagree we shouldnt troll rate were for comments we disagree with.

Re: (none / 0)

TR's I have no issue with, it is the continued HR'ing of those comments that are not intemperate and simply tell the truth. Do I sometimes say intemperate things? sure do. It is the ones who will never admit that they can ever be wrong that is the root of the problem. Faith is not the problem, conviction that only they can be correct and any other view is automatically wrong, is.
