@shilolo It wasn’t me who suggested that it was a nefarious plot, I was quoting you, in fact. No one believes that it exists, and why you suggested it is beyond my comprehension. And there was really no need for you to tell me what the thread was about. I believe that if I was intelligent to read it, link to it, and use it to support the fact that sometimes GA is given out when it sometimes shouldn’t be, I also knew what the thread was about.
I gave my opinion, and supported it. I don’t feel a need to be validated, and for anyone to suggest that another needs validation is making rather large and unnecessary assumptions.
Why should it matter to you, or anyone, if another person is hung up on lurve or not? I’m not the person who asked the question. But margeryred isn’t the first person to bring it up. I doubt that she’ll be the last. But your response and syz’s response point to what is part of the problem, people find it difficult to remain detached from these issues, you both respond by somehow thinking that I must be a bit of an imbecile to hang around while gaining all of my 1660 lurve and being unhappy while doing it. I think most people who are generally and genuinely unhappy would have left long before the amount of lurve that I have, don’t you?
The point that I am making, is this. Lurve matters to some people and they shouldn’t be penalized for that. Acceptance matters to some people and they shouldn’t be penalized for that, either. We expect everyone to believe and behave exactly the way that we do, but we should all only be behaving within the guidelines, and there’s a lot of room for people to be able to be themselves and give their opinions without being condescended to or insulted, or made to feel that they’re just not welcome.

Yes, there are people on Fluther who “play favorites.” This link illustrates it very well.
Marina gets GA for “Well said, shilolo!”
Marina gets GA for “@Bulbatron9 First the shoe video and now this fantastic one. Do you have a You Tube videos favorites list I could look at? Thanks so much for both of those.”
Buster gets GA for “sometimes nofx is wrong bulbatron.”
Spendywatson gets GA for “@bulbatron…do you realize you just used $#!+ in place of shit, but typed out fuck? :) The wheat beer must be good.”
Spendywatson gets GA for “no doubt ;) you crack me up”
Spendywatson gets GA for “@ebenezer, how ironic”
Buster gets GA for “i wonder how much a gram of blow cost in singapore. if you smuggle it in without being caught and beaten its got to be an exorbitant price.”
Spendywatson gets GA for “$8.50 just kidding”
bulbatron9 gets GA for “Reread it! I was joking, too! Wait, “little testy”; Turn your head and cough joke goes great with that!”
Shilolo gets GA for “Still confused, but, no problem Glad we got off the capital punishment thread, it was killing me…”
Shilolo gets GA for “No fair editing your responses to look witty. And let me tell you something, I hate that part of the physical exam. That said, if you are ever my patient, you would definitely need the full exam.”
There are, of course, more in there, but I’m looking at the ones that are clearly playing favorites, and they’ll be obvious to everyone. Some of the others are GA’s given for humor, but don’t have anything to do with the question. Humor is an essential part of Fluther, but when GA has been awarded for humor that has strayed so far from the topic, then a person is hard pressed to see why lurve matters at all.
People have a tendency of holding their opinions too closely at times. If someone doesn’t agree with them, whether they have a good argument or not, they can become combative. The idea behind Fluther is to answer questions, not to hold each others’ heads under water until victory is achieved.
One of the answers to a question that I asked was, “None of your business.”
I have also seen other members ganging up on some, as well. My own husband was here twice but decided not to come back because he started reading threads where it appeared that you just had to be good friends with others who appreciated your humor. What’s sad is that he’s worked in addictions for years, was the most successful in his entire region (he now works as a probation officer), and had a lot of positive expertise to offer on the issue. I’m feeling the pangs of favoritism as well.
@shilolo “It sounds like Margeryred is insinuating that there is some nefarious plot to artificially inflate some users’ lurve points.” She didn’t insinuate that. Members have confirmed that it happens, and I have confirmed it by providing solid examples, in just one thread. When you make statements like that you only stir the pot.
@johnpowell “There a few cliques around here. But it doesn’t really seem to effect things very much.” It does, but most don’t say anything about it and try not to let it affect them.
