It seems there are those who do. Personally I look at things by their content, not author. If I disagree, I generally comment to that effect.

(I find anonomous voting down cowardly, but my recent poll suggests that is not an opinion shared by the community.)

We disagree on most things Asroc, but on this we do agree.

Hmmm...I wonder if there is a way to make it NOT anonymous....??

TheSheep marvels at the lack of self control from a supposed adult.

...of bodily functions? I mean, even little sheepies know how to control barf! Haaah! 5 year old hoomans do too! And there you are barfing! Haaah!

Hi Sheep--good comment, but how about just doing away with the arrows all together, I think when I first start5ed here there weren't any. Hope ya stick around.

I kinda like the ability to "grade" the comment; I generally use down for abuse, up for approval. Hey, maybe a grading system instead?

Hey TheSheep, nice to see ya around these pastures.

Lovely grazing here, thanks for keeping it so nice!

Who do I look like... Jonmarc? april?

Correct, if I was going to do it to anyone (I don't just because its them) it would be them.

I am not touching your arrow friend.

Why am I not surprised by that?

Doesn't bother me. The comment is there anyway. I swear a few times after I hit "Submit Comment", I was already at 0 points.

The deleting of comments that would make a sailor from Guam blush, is kind of chickenshit IMO

I am so tempted to moderate this down to 0 points, just because ;).

Please do. I stand by what I wrote. Moderate me down? No problem. Write nasty, profane shit and delete? Chickenshit.

You are on hallucinogens. Do you really think that TheSheep, sillynilly, odessaphiles, BEC44, waugs, and I, to name a few, MODERATE OURSELVES DOWN?

You idiot.

Try checking out who's online when you see it happening. It is enlightening.

That is quite true, thank you.

A lot of your comments are opinion that you present as fact. Much of the time they are lacking in any evidence supporting your claim as made. That might explain why you feel you get voted down a lot.

Though I do agree with you that the people you mention would be low on my list of suspects for systematic mark downs.

It's a numbers game though. There are more liberal posters, and lurkers especially I imagine than conservative ones. It's true of the internet in general. The younger demographic is usually overwhelmingly Democrat/Liberal/Progressive, and the older demographic leans more towards a conservatism.

The 19 members are the only ones that see the comments and are the only ones that can mod them--that really narrows it down.

Actually, Wing, it only shows you online when you are online...you don't have to log off. (I don't either and I don't show up when I am not there.)

Another brilliant comment! You typify the horses ass!

Now you're lying, wing. I had one of my questions "removed by community" the other day. The e-mail concerning that arrived 1 minute after you wrote a disparaging remark about it.

I had that happen also from the same amount of time after a ridicule from Guam. I think it is a gang effort from the three stooges.

What? Nutters said only liberal Democrat punks arrow people down! Are you showing your true colors, Jonmarc?

This comment was deleted.

A rose, by any other name.....

Is that a new word you just learned, Jonmarc? It's not a very nice one.

This comment was deleted.

I guess when you leave, you also leave the duty, honor, country thing also. You're lying. It's your right to remove by community, but to lie about it is cowardly!

Unlike you, Nutters... who accused BEC44 and me of doing it with no proof whatsoever. I offer you your own advice. Don't make such statements unless you are absolutely sure.

This comment was deleted.

Umm... yeah, sorry. My bad. You accused odessaphiles, BEC44 and me of doing it. Saying, "I tend to think so & so did it" is an expression of accusatory opinion, but adding, "but they will deny it," makes it unquestionably accusatory... and even worse, calls our integrity into question... with no evidence other than what you "think" about people you don't even know.

This comment was deleted.

When your "opinion" accuses other people of having acted in a certain way, then you have to have evidence. I don't think it's "nothing" when you accuse me of being a liar by asserting your "opinion" that I will deny something before I've even been confronted with it. This in itself is a logical fallacy. It's called "poisoning the well."

Oh, and thanks for the continued ad hominem attacks. You are just proving my point for me.

Really? You're calling Jonmarc and april liberal Democrat punks? Them's fightin' words, Nutters.

Thanks for the false innuendo. You are correct. I do deny it, because it is not true. The only time I have ever moderated anyone down is for profanity.

This comment was deleted.

Ah... I see you have no logical arguments left, so you have degenerated into name calling. Pathetic.

This comment was deleted.

Why I said what? Back what up? That you are calling Jonmarc and april liberal Democrat punks? It's right here in black and white. You said that only liberal Democrat punks moderate people down because of who they are. Jonmarc and april and MikeHend all admitted to moderating people down just because of who they are. Therefore, they are, by YOUR definition, liberal Democrat punks. QED

This comment was deleted.

If you think I'm confused, please set me straight.

Did you not say that only liberal democrat punks moderate people down because of who they are?

Did not those three admit to doing just that? Where am I confused?

Oh, and thanks again for proving that when you have no logical argument, you devolve into pointless ad hominem attacks. Are you sure you don't want to call me "stupid," or "flathead" or a "skid mark?" I'm sure that makes you feel much better about yourself.

Well, almost everyone denies moderating any down. Wonder who these ghost down-moderaters are? Hmmmmmm?

I decried it for a long time, but got tired of giving the opposition a weapon I didn't have, so even I started moderating people down and sometimes just because of who they were.

Would gladly see the system discontinued because I think it is an added irritant that is not needed.

I moderate down when someone is extremely rude to others or offensive in their comment, so in other words- I DON'T AGREE WITH THEM. I do notice that some people get moderated down all the time regardless of their type of comment. I even quit posting comments for over a month I think because it all gets irritating and my life is too busy to care about all this nonsense. I enjoy reading the comments but I find there is a group of those that perhaps have been around longer than most of us that SEEM to moderate certain people down. Some people forget they are just offering their opinions, and they think they are facts. It is amazing.
