The two people who up voted this (parent reply) should be ashamed
The last thing this forum needs is the strategy of using "shaming" to shape the way that people vote.
Cheers,

I agree in the sense that we don't want to mold people into "me too" voting. But I can see virtue in encouraging people to be a little more considered in their voting. I suspect the up votes marto was highlighting were just fly by voting to use up today's quota and garner whatever XP might be available in doing so. I guess most of us have done that at times, but the quality of the site is much improved if people are encouraged take a little more time to read and understand nodes before voting. It kind of goes hand in hand with writing good questions and good answers.

I agree with syphilis 100%
Additionally, the pattern of +3/-16 votes is healthy and in par with reality. How many of us worked under or alongside people who were consistently suggesting or dictating similar non-sensical rubbish? I wish the ratio was only 3:16 (15%) - at least with such ratio the anonymous author has no chance to ever be voted in for public office, hehehe chlorinated covfefe anyone?
It's not all black and white in the real world. And a 3:16 greyness is IMO a very good adequate and realistic achievement.
In the meantime there was a 3rd positive vote since yesterday, defying all the "shaming" comments and warnings about the message's zero-value content. How do you explain that? Here is my explanation: Tom Waits on BBC TV sometimes in the 80's with a subserviant Ian Hislop:
Ian: 'You're over her [in England] to plug your new album aren't you?'
Tom: [mumbling] 'That's right, I am over here to promote some new work, and ... [mumble,mumble]...'
Ian: [interrupts in a determinedly jovial way] 'Perhaps you'd like to plug it a bit louder?'
Tom: [Stops talking and looks at Ian] '...Hm?'
Ian: 'Our microphones are having trouble picking you up-perhaps you'd like to plug it a bit louder?'
Tom: [Looks at Ian, wide-eyed...looks at other guests...looks at camera crew... looks at Ian...looks at camera crew...looks at Ian...long embarassing silence...] 'I'll plug it in my OWN damn way'...

P.S. It's a pity that this thread under a reaped note will be lost forever(?)
P.S2 Need to know how to include square brackets in HTML text! is wrong. & # 092; is not the closing square bracket. | [reply]
