I'm sorry for derailing. I should have just said I don't appreciate the kudos if its not strictly because you agree/like what I say. 
Anyone who wishes to continue to talk about the kudos I invite to my R'lyeh thread for arguing.
I think the internet is great and this is a really cool thread.

Why did you see the need to point out a flaw in the way I (or somebody else) hands out kudos? That can't actually be important to you. Seriously. Can't you just relax? Chill out, have some fun? I think the better question is why do you mind?
I point out what I perceive as flaws in order for people to either improve or correct me if I'm wrong. It's a mutually beneficiary process, in theory.
So you feel it's your job to pick out other people's flaws? Or I should say, qualities you personally perceive as flaws?

You know what, forget it. Forget I said anything. I can already see 35 pages into the future of this thread. It's not worth it, I take it back!!!

I can presume to speak for everyone though, if I think at the time that I do. If you disagree you can tell me I don't speak for you, but not for everyone else as well. I still think I'm right about this, though. If you're going to appreciate everything, that doesn't allow for actual value - if everything is valuable, then nothing is.
I am sure I'm not the only one but even if it was only me, I appreciate her kudos: therefore you can't be speaking for everyone when you say otherwise.
I love being a kudos whore. Kudos me, it brings pleasure to my turtleyness.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

The boy is learning. (lightsaber powers down) Don't call me "cupcake".
I bet you could think of three different ways (in under 30 seconds) that you could have phrased your concern about kudos, how they are used, and what they mean to different people, that would have let to pleasant discussion. 'Nuff said. Peace.

I give Kudos to any post that makes me laugh, think, and/or reconsider something I said in a new light... as a result, I tend to Kudos most of the posts on threads I start or discussions I kick-off, and I mean every one of them.
The idea that Kudos are diminished by giving out too many is almost equivalent to the idea that hugs should be hoarded instead of dispersed as widely as possible.

Done. Of course, it's now about 3 a.m. in your part of the world, but you'll find this in the morning. Sweet dreams, Turtle-boy.
