I'll take a look at it, thank you

I would like your permission to use this line somewhere, good sir.

Thanks for the comment. I'll check it.

Reddit has downvotes yet has this more than ever.

This place, as long as downvotes aren't there, not really seen anything of the sort and volume will be low for the ones which are there. Many have determined that is due to low user volume. Haha. As if. The proportion itself is much lower, non-existent compared to those which have downvotes.

At some point people need to go that extra mile and start thinking the reason for things. Like, ironically as I say right now will happen, will the existence of downvotes attract these people to the instance? Rather than deter them?

I was about to ask what exactly is the problem—is it the asking of the question or the spamming of the question? And if it is the spamming of the question, isn't that already covered in 'spam'? This seems very oddly specific.

That was what I wanted to ask—but then it got into stuff which begged the question from me subconsciously, what constitutes an idiot anyway… in this particular situation. And that was before we got into 'false positive reaction'.

I don't know… I merely trusted people to think on their own, and the ones who by chance refuse to think on their own get their dues too, while others wouldn't be swayed due to thinking on their own. It seemed that simple to me… perhaps that doesn't suffice for most? Interesting…

Good job, a few saved posts from my saved list have been replaced by blanks. And who can blame the ones who did it? (Many will, considering these did get a bit of abusive words despite doing some good things). This place has become a place to debate and argue rather than have a good jerk. Ha! Just what was needed.

Being a bit of a dick is normal, so it is tolerated, and opinions are given importance, these dickheads are given respect for abusing the very ones who made this place work. What's next now? Enforcing moderation on those who answer back to them? It is the norm in the more corporate forums so I—would—not—be—surprised—at—all. Good job all.

Hehe… who could've seen this coming. The majority of good willing people here couldn't, how surprising🫢 If the world had more silent thinking (which is my style) and less debating (which was how things were before this slight seemingly insignificant change, a change which incited the question of whether each posting itself was right or wrong), these things wouldn't happen… but it is not the place of idiots like me to interrupt the legitimate high-placed people of the world from shooting their own feet so… carry on. It is amusing in itself. I'll start a casual bet (smiles on wager, so the world benefits from it) on just how much everyone among these well intentioned ones choose to ignore the results out of embarrassment. I say the majority will be too embarrassed to even talk about it again, as if it never happened, and try to shut down anyone who references it for being 'incorrect' or 'wrong'😁 Better yet, some will blame and insult the few posters who deleted everything. That will definitely happen.

How ironic is it that for the sake of arguing for good quality posts, you would drive away the posters of some of the best quality posts💀

Ehehehehe it is better this way no, everyone downvotes where they want to downvote? This is proper. Unless you're saying you want people to downvote where you want them to downvote and don't want them to downvote where you don't want them to downvote… can you be so insecure? That is not possible. You are a generous person and I suggest we all contribute to make small figurine statues of your great likeness in honour of this forum (I'm a poor chap after all). Butt plug size…

They're insecure mate, always needing to compare. I'm the same, I'm not gonna be in a relationship unless I feel love. The act of wanting to get physical, where the body moves on its own and you need to specifically stop the body from moving to not, rather than put effort to move… the feeling is mutual when it comes. I've personally not felt it and won't engage in a sexual relation until I do.

If anything you seem happier than them from the description, however incomprehensible that may seem from the content of your post. People generally do not behave that way, going out of the way to make a point that they are in a good place in life, even more so showing that they are better than others, if their own lives are not secretly unhappy wrecks and they're too embarrassed to work on it… instead choosing to fool others and themselves.

If it were me, I'd cut off contact pretty much immediately and even advise you to do the same, though in most cases people do in fact stay around regardless.

This one was not my thing but thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I'll take a look at these as well, I haven't read these

In that case there will probably be no problem

I will need to check it myself to get a feel of it… thanks for the suggestion. I will not know about the nature of the violent sex (the term can have a few meanings) but I've been looking around anyway and this one provides a clear name for the list. I will check it.
