Yeah, it's obvious you're here for the feelgoods because that's obviously lacking in some other part of your life

That doesn't make sense logically, simply because someone does something does not imply anything is lacking, it's simply what I enjoy.

You're a very pessimistic fellow.

I post and comment on, what...two dozen maybe? I don't even keep track.

You're also one of the most prolific and popular posters on here. Did you not know that?

Chipit's here cause he gets paid to demoralize. I don't know about "popular".

He's constantly on the front page, pretty sure he has way more fake internet points than I do.

Artificial, thus "popular".

You think he upvotes himself twenty times?

All Chipit needs is a bunch of mindless followers and/or sock-puppets and/or bots to get 3 or 4 votes and solidly onto the front page to be updooted because most folks are NOT good filters, nor do they weigh the pros and cons of the torrent of incoming stuff.

Why does he need "a bunch"? Because M7 looks for give-away behaviour. How? I have no clue. How often? Ditto.

This bias pooling is a critical weakness of all Reddit-type forums everywhere.

Pet Peeve: I HATE that it's called "voting". The "points" are "likes" and "dislikes" or "insightful" and "fun" - not upvote and downvote. We're not in an election for politicians or policies and if we actually wanted to do surveys the word "vote" may be confusing.

I was wondering where Chipit went. I must have blocked him after a bit too much sake. I think it was around the time he was trumpeting about getting ten thousand points.

That's why block is such a bad idea. At least have people know they've been blocked so they're not wasting time responding to someone who will never see it and/or that there are blocked replies that you could peak at if you wanted.

LOL you're doing it right now. You're trying to get to know me. Look, I'm just some guy who reads a lot and shares what he reads. Just another random handle on some website somewhere. I like to flatter myself by thinking that my links are offbeat and worth reading, rather than the usual "Breaking news" B.S. and give some badly needed exposure to people and ideas who wouldn't get seen otherwise. Most of what I post never gets upvoted and goes nowhere. That's about as much thought as I put into this handle on this website.

Of course, I told you it's why I enjoy forums, talking to people.
