I haven't posted anything in several days, but I can't help noticing my Crunchies keep going down. As far as I know, i've never written a derogatory word about a single member of this board. Yet, somebody keeps clicking my little Custie button. I've went from 14 to 6 in three days without posting anything at all. I'm really not sure what i've done to offend you, but i'd be glad to talk about it with you. Maybe you don't agree with my assessment of Dylan's recent business choices or maybe you think that I was too harsh in the "DJ AM Found Dead" thread, but I really don't like to think that anyone here could be so petty as to annonymously attempt to hurt me in such a childish, ineffectual manner. Nevertheless, that does seem to be the case. So be it. I don't understand what you hope to accomplish with these tactics, but I would really like to know what i've done to offend you. Here's your chance to get whatever it is off your chest. I've turned off my ridiculous, arbitrary rating system so that, if you really have a legitimate beef with something i've said or done, you will only have one of two choices left: Talk To Me Like A Man or Go To Hell. Either way is fine with me, but I thought it only right to give you a chance to man-up. If you don't want to do this in public, I can respect that. Normally, I wouldn't call you out in front of everybody else, but since I don't know who you are, I have no other choice. Just send me a personal message and, hopefully, we can work it out. I'm all ears.
*Also, I want to sincerely thank whoever it is that keeps Crunching me back up. It's much appreciated, but it's also unnecessary. That's really the main reason I opted out of the whole thing. Thanks again, but there's a lot of great people on here and you should spend your time helping some of them out.*

Another thing - good you turned it off - because for some reason - whenever you make a post like this about your karma going down - it tends to make it worse

I'd say don't let it get to you. I don't even pay attention to mine. It's a stupid thing that makes some internet people feel superior. But at the end of the day it's just a silly message-board karma system that people will abuse because it's easy. Also, just because you haven't posted something recently, that doesn't mean that people are just now getting around to something else you posted that they don't like.
Don't let it get to you. It's not worth it. Just post what you want to and if people disagree or dislike what you say....they should post a reply and you guys can discuss it. Don't let the anonymous clicking of a few people get you upset

As far as I'm concerned, if people crunchy you when they agree with your stance then why is it so absurd and frowned upon here to be custied when someone disagrees with you. Custying people should not be a personal attack on someone but rather just a "hey, I disagree with what you just said." It's nothing to lose sleep over (which I doubt you or anyone here really does) but it's also not really something I've ever seen worth demanding who's doing it either.
It's been fun having this system overall I think. I get mindless enjoyment out of trying to keep people at a certain number, and get more enjoyment cracking jokes about my own "score" when someone's custyin' me like crazy and am in turn ridiculed by them as someone who gives more than two shits about what number appears below my name. It's all just lighthearted humor to me, and that's what it should be. If someone's custying you, maybe you should just laugh it off rather than taking it as a personal vendetta against you and then trying to make amends with someone. While it's a noble effort to make peace with a potential enemy, chances are whoever's doing it is just f*cking with you in the first place and really doesn't have a problem with you whatsoever.
All that being said...
edit: and holy shmokes, I actually just now noticed I dropped from like 430ish to 407 over the weekend which I was at the beach away from the internets... Alright forget about everything I just said... WHO THE HELL IS DOING THIS!?!?!

if it makes you feel any better, you were at 406 before I crunchied/karma'd you.
*shakes head*
No, no, that probably wouldn't make you feel any better at all.

To be fair, I didn't miss a single day of work while at the beach. I worked til 5 on Friday, cashed my paycheck, spent my paycheck on Fat Tire and crab legs, and returned in the midst of Labor Day traffic on Monday to return to work this morning. I plan my vacations well
Hey, at least you don't have someone with multiple screenames smiting you 5 times an hour.
Granted, though, that was some entertaining stuff... one day my karma's at 100 or something, then the next day it's at 70. Someone was seriously entertaining themselves with that, wish I could find pleasure in that.

^^Haha oh I'm fairly certain it's Sal logged on invisible, but that's merely a hypothesis of mine. I wish he would atleast log on as visible when he did it and post again. I thoroughly miss my mindless discussions with him regarding my status in society. Plus, I'm totally employed now so maybe he'd be impressed with how far I've come in life

Thanks for the words of encouragement, everybody. You're right. I shouldn't let it get to me, but I'm just the kind of guy who likes to work stuff out and forget it instead of holding stupid, secret grudges forever. Anyway, I think I'm happier with my [Crunchy l Custie] turned off anyway. "It frees me up to do my own thing." (<Red Forman)
And, just for the record, I'm really very sorry that I missed out on Salamander's "jovial nature" too. If you post again, I'll help you work out your inferiority issues, Sally. I promise.
