What does Kudos mean to you?

What does Kudos mean to you?
If someone were to kudos your post, do you feel that that implies they agree or do you feel it implies they enjoyed reading your post?

Example 1: If I kudos a post that I strongly disagreed with but it didn't offend me and I enjoyed reading it would that be misleading?

Example 2: If I kudos a post that I strongly agreed with its primary point but I felt it was expressed in an offensive way and I didn't exactly enjoy reading it, would that be misleading?

Or neither?

Or do you feel that both liking/approving of/enjoying and also agreeing with the main point is required?

I just think it means they enjoyed your post.

You can enjoy a post without totally agreeing with it, so no.

Kudos is -everything-.   I alter my language, my posting habits, and the threads in which I post based on overall kudos count.  All of this in service of the ultimate goal...to finally overcome all other members of the board in kudos.  I've got most of you thoroughly under foot already.  Just a few more holdouts...like Min....but he has to die someday, amiright?

-Now kudos this post.

kudos = orgasm
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

RE: What does Kudos mean to you?
I use kudos for all kinds of positive post traits. For example, if a post was funny or insightful or informative or anything else positive. I'm reminded of the days of slashdot where posts could be +1ed in one or more of several categories.  Since we can't do that, the kudos can only mean that I had a positive experience while reading your post.

You need an option for sometimes one and sometimes the other.
