why all the unrecs on my Al Franken post was I not suppose to post it?

[rbrnmw]

I am confused please let me know why it is offensive

[leftstreet]

1. 'supposed' to post it n/t

[slackmaster]

2. Unrec for punctuation and capitalization errors

:nuke:

I am confused please let me know why it is offensive

Offensiveness arises from the perception of the person who is offended. It's not an inherent trait of your post or of any other particular thing.

13. you are a cruel bunch

[truedelphi]

3. What is the URL of the post?

List the link, please.

[rbrnmw]

7. link

[truedelphi]

11. I did go there and give it a rec.

Yeah! yeah! yeah! for Franken!

And thank you for posting it

[Cleita]

21. There are people here who think they should unrec

a post they disagree with, not a post that deserves it. If you disagree with a poster don't rec, but don't unrec unless it is so offensive it deserves it. I went and gave you a rec.

[fishwax]

4. looks like it has positive recs at the moment

what's to complain/worry about?

[rbrnmw]

6. I was worried I posted something I should not have

[fishwax]

8. don't worry about unrecs

:toast:

17. Agreed -- don't worry about them.

You could post about how soft and cuddly a kitten is (although that would perhaps be more appropriate in The Lounge), and how you like the smell of new-mown hay (ditto), but I almost guarantee that someone is going to "unrecommend" it. Such is the nature of the beast.

(Elect me as Supreme High Ruler of the Planet and I'll take care of this. For a small fee, of course.)

20. How small a fee?

Anything over $4 gajillion will not be affordable.

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. Oddly enough, $3.8 gajillion was the number I had in mind.

So we have a win-win outcome. Heck, I don't want to add to the planet's deficit.:patriot:

[polmaven]

23. In that case,

You have my vote!

[guardian]

10. dude!

unrecs are a badge of honor!

[Posteritatis]

12. waaaaaaaaaaah (nt)

[Liberal_in_LA]

14. they are already unreccing this thread

[Obamanaut]

15. unrec for asking why other post was unrecced. nt

[bigwillq]

16. Who cares about the rec or unrecs?

If you think an article or a link or a thought should be posted, post it. Don't worry about the recs, or lack thereof. It's only a message board. No biggie if it gets rec'ed or not.

[DevonRex]

18. I just replied to that OP and recced it. If I hadn't read this thread I might

not have read that one. So thanks. :hi:

[H2O Man]

19. Because

the world is round.
