          We're all having a nice discussion below. We don't all agree with each other whch makes for interesting discourse. So why the elephant is some nadless wanker downvoting everyone? Give up with people: we can't all agree, it's unrealistic and we may hold diamterically opposing viewpoints - that doesn't mean you should slap anyone down for expressing their views.

          It happens sometimes. I actually preferred the backroom because the voting can get in the way a bit sometimes, but these days it's a barren wasteland..

              Perhaps: I'm bored and miserable. So I guess it's a misconception about sharing and community spirit.

I offend people here on a regular basis because they are weak of mind and they get their feelings hurt. This is probably why there are so many down-votes, usually by someone who had their sensitive feelings hurt.

                  If it weren't for one votes and report as spam I'd have just about as many points as you do. :)

                  True, you do a good job of that without downvoting. I would like to suggest virtual slaps over downvotes. If the Japanese can invent a way to transmit kisses over the internet surely we can slap each other over it too.

                        I recognise the irony that pointing this out is a bit like pissing into the wind. But sometimes a man just needs to rant. :)
