Yikes!

Nah. I'm cool how I am. I was just trying to side with the anti-neg folks.

Something I learned on irc, the more you post, the more popular you will be, provided you're not a complete dick. Min contributes a lot of material, but the simple high volume of his posting alone would be enough to guarantee some measure of popularity, all other things being equal.

Now, admittedly, I like Min, and we see eye to eye a lot, but you do yourself no favors by trying to support a generalization on the back of an example which is, on the face of it, exceptional. That's simple logic 101.

Nice try. Come back and elaborate if you can pull yourself away from huffing your own jenkem.

wut?
I said If you want to get more Reps you gotta learn from this guy.
OF COURSE there's a correlation between post count and #reactions you get.
You do YOURSELF no favors trying to build a 'smoke and mirrors' curriculum to purportedly school me in *cough* ...'logic'

Jenkum. Yeah, you're the one making up stuff!

What a poseur. Get your own style, and quit trying to copy mine. You do it badly.

I'm glad you don't have access to such a system here. Just you, and specifically you.
