It's really pathetic when people vote on articles based on their politics instead of the technical merit of the article. The quality of your typical CP user sure has gone down the dumper in the last couple of years. This is one of the primary reasons I don't hang out here as much as I used to... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

There is always a possibility that the voters think your article lacks technical merit or it sucks more than your politics. ;P Disclaimer: I never read or voted on your articles.

I couldn't agree more. After I disagreed with someone over politics here in the lounge over a year ago, all of a sudden I got a flurry of 1 votes on all my articles. That ended my article writing for codeproject completely. It's unfortunate, but its the downside to the anonymous voting. Personally I think voting shouldn't be anonymous.

But I suspect you didn't hang out a deliberately antagonistic political statement on the end of every article you wrote. I can't understand why John Simmons does that then expects people to ignore it when rating the article. Steve T

That's good that you care enough about the problem to improve the quality of the average cp user by going that route! ;P I'm not so sure there is a political reason for it, I think it's more to do with how many shiny pictures there are. It's almost a lock that you will get highly rated if you have nice shiny pictures and diagrams whatever the article is actually about.

What's really funny is that I submitted another article this morning (or at least tried to), and something is borked up with the Submission Wizard which prevented the source code zip upload from happening correctly. It's even mentioned in the article message threads. Still, some folks are marking the article down. Why? Whio the fuck knows? My guess is that they've got a single eyebrow running across their sloped foreheads and their only form of communication comes in the form of grunts, clicks and whistles when they see something they think looks like good VB code. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

*I* didn't put my profile there - it's an automatic function of the site.

Mine's been there for years. The only people that seem to count that as part of the actual article are people that are nurturing their one and only brain cell and hoping for a miracle of some sort that will cause it to somehow replicate itself to the point where they can understand single-syllable words or even recognize rudimentary shapes and colors. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

Believe it or not, that wouldn't bother me. But what's happening is just pathetic. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

Actually I already know how the site funtions. And since you do too then you knew that an offensive profile would be appended to every article you wrote so don't try to pretend it appears there without your knowledge or consent. Like I said. If you don't want a politically motivated response to your article leave politics out off the article page. Otherwise suck it up and stop whimpering. Steve T

Seems to me like someone with more than one brain cell would realise that any inflamatory text he places on a page, whether part of the article or not, will cause a negative reaction in some readers, with any number of brain cells, which readers may choose to respond by clicking "1" and hitting where it hurts: in your over inflated ego.

indeed, I don't mix the two.
