I just have to say, that I love the night and weekend visitors to DU...

[slipslidingaway]

a thread that has been unrecommended seems to get a nice boost ...or a dose of sanity IMO.

1. How so? Not disagreeing, but not sure of

What you are meaning, either.

[slipslidingaway]

4. I think they are a more liberal crowd and that is reflected in certain...

threads that get recommended, but I could be wrong as well.

:hi:

16. Okay, gotcha!

I used to always post in the day, as I am sleepier at night and thus thought my thinking is a lil better in the day.

But the bots squash me if I do that during the day, so now I write my posts during the day, and for the most part, post them at eleven PM or later.

No trolls! No un recs within 16 seconds of posting!

I very much agree.

2. What about the weekend and holiday ones? They seem prone to flaming

every body.

[slipslidingaway]

5. That does happen as well. n/t

3. Congratulations for making the most irrational post of the day.

You really believe that the thread whose Recommends and Unrecommends matter most to you has been favored now because of the evening posters, whom you infer are somehow different and better than those who have posted thus far?

If anything, posting gets crazier at night and on weekends.

6. Why thank you, just my observations, yours may differ. n/t

[slipslidingaway]

7. I see your edit, the two are not mutually exclusive. n/t

[TexasObserver]

8. And yet, you posted an entirely new post instead of editing yours.

And why would any edit be needed? My post didn't fundamentally change and your response didn't either.

Do you just like to complain? Seems so.

[slipslidingaway]

9. It was just an observation and not that important in the big picture...

not worth much discussion in detail.

A few threads that were being unrecommended suddenly shot up, I've seen this before and just noted that in this thread, no reason for personal attacks.

;)

14. No reason for your broad brush attacks on those who disagree with you.

But being passive aggressive, you don't see that in your thread, do you?

You started a thread to malign those who disagree with you regarding Recommends on some unknown thread, then object when your hypocrisy is pointed out to you.

[slipslidingaway]

17. There are attacks all over DU. I read them every day about people...

who criticize a particular or stance on an issue.

Post something critical of the administration in GDP during the week, then post something similar on the weekend or at night and you might see a different reaction.

You see it as an attack, I see it as an observation.

In the big scheme of things my observation is not that important, so I'm going to try and let this thread sink.

Why did I post this? Because a few threads shot up in recs that had been doing battle earlier in the afternoon.

10. Some good "new" people as well - for some reason the weekend draws them out. nt
