    For certain, shall we say, considerations, I might be persuaded to rep every post of yours, obviating the need to understand bookmarking and subscription.

    I'd just like to make sure this is quoted for posterity.

    No, I just don't like you. On most issues you seem to be contrary for contrary's sake.

    Nice play. If I react, I look like I can't take a joke. If I don't, you get off scot-free with a snide remark. *Claps*

    Smart enough to know that your opinion of my intelligence is about as relevant as your opinion on anything else.

    But please, continue to troll me. Nothing looks better than trolling the membership, believe me, I know. /s

    And Zombie is, as usual, using his own participation in a :borg:mind to attribute like characteristics to others.

    I, on the other hand, am enjoying the fact that Clyde is, in actuality, doing what you lot have been accusing me of for years - all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding - while you lot remain silent.

    Clyde is not even close to doing what you've been doing.

    He does answer questions after all. :bailey:

    If by 'shitting up' threads, you mean having opinions that aren't yours. Don't pretend the rep wars were altruistic. :lol:

    He left for a completely different reason.
    And did they stop posting because of rep?
    He hadn't really been contributing a whole lot long before the rep changes.
    You were going off the deep end leading up to the rep changes, and that finally set you off.

    And that was a self-fulfilling prophecy because the posters who were whining the loudest about the rep changes instituted a scorched earth policy. It's my honest opinion that many of the people who left or became less active due to rep weren't honestly contributing much of anything in the last year or so anyway.

    I also voted "don't care" in last year's poll, mostly because Tamar gave shitty options, none of which I agreed with at the time.

    Edit to add: So we've already had more people voting in this poll than the earlier polls regarding board changes (forum merging and RRR icons in Media Central/Press Start). And the results of those polls were acted on pretty quickly (a day or two). It may be close, but I doubt we'll get many more votes on this one. The results seem pretty clear at this point.

    So what's our reason for not going to a comment system?

    I know for a fact several people are never here on weekends...besides I intend to give it enough time so there is no doubt what the outcome is.

    If it gets close, then the timing of any end to voting will be controversial. You should set a date and stick to it.

    So when does this poll end? Once Muad has had enough time to register a few duals? :trollface:

    You know, I liked rep, and the rep wars, and the subsequent whining by the pussies on here, but I would gladly not bring that back again if it means we can get rid of the stupidity on here like name-changing, parody threads, duals, baba and other moronic things that do nothing to improve traffic and discussion.

    JMHO. :shrug:

    That's the biggest load of bullshit you've spouted in a long time. You and your petty little cabals rep wars were only directed to the lefties on this board.

    We should have a separate poll for that after this one is over, because I would change my vote from "Keep NuRep" for just a comment system without points.

    Huh. Really? Any explination for Dayton, EP, Poodle, and a couple of other "righties" I can't recall getting hammered into the red?
    Tas ran off before he could be properlly hammered, is he a "leftie"?

    Just sayin'. :shrug:

    Part of the idea was for the forum to police itself and the rep was a way to do just that, if one gave a shit about rep that is.

    Be my guest.

    You can't criticize the actions of the Obama administration without it being racist and you can't disagree with the Wordforge staff on what you think was a horribly bad call without it being bitterness.

    That's the way it works, right?

    On the contrary. A lot of posters have opinions that I disagree with, including you. I have opinions that a number of posters disagree with. That's why we're here. To discuss them.

    It was only asshattery that got repwarred. Back when all that was going on, I found old threads from 4 or 5 years ago where even Diacanu was negging the living shit out of actormike.

    Funny that I keep getting tagged as one of the great rep warriors when I usually stayed out of that shit, but even I was getting tired of some of mikey's asshattery.

    Also funny that the very people who got butthurt over repwarring were the very ones who were negging the shit out of posters like apostle and K1A.

    I wouldn't have pegged you for a rep warrior. But, you have become ... a little nuts since 2008.

    I have big nuts. I'll PM you a photo. They're hairy too.

    Since 2008? Oh, yeah, that's when I stopped criticizing Boosh and started criticizing Obama.

    Don't try to turn this around. I have continued to behave the same way toward you that I always have. You, on the other hand, have changed toward me. and it started about the time I said I was leaning toward Obama because he picked Biden as his VP.

    On the contrary. I haven't changed my attitude towards you at all. I still like you and consider you a good friend. Always have.

    My guess is that if you look at the people who have negrepped everyone you listed, you'll find a lot more than just "lefties."

    You don't have to be a "lefty" to think Tasvir is a waste of oxygen.

    As long as Tasvir operates within the board's rules, no matter how obnoxious he may or may not be, why does he have any less right to be here than anyone else?

    I didn't say that. If you dislike or disagree with something he posts, or think he's being an asshat, have at him.

    Well, I'm not sure why you responded the way you did, then, since it was sort of nonsensical in context.

    Unless it was to distract attention from the fact that most of the people Caboose named as victims of the "lefties" were, in fact, not.

    I apologize.

    Still, the attitude of this board of certain posters have become less friendly bickering and more vicious attacking.
