Do you guys think there are people on Fluther that "stalk" you using lurve?

Asked by jtvoar16 (2171points) November 29th, 2008

I have been on fluther, pretty much non-stop for the last few weeks and have noticed that I am getting a lot of lurve for some of my answers that just don’t seem to warrant lurve (in my option.)
So that got me thinking about the lurve system, and how it is kind of like a “Gold Star” system.
Then that recalled a time in elementary school. When I was in forth grade, the teacher used colored stars to represent how good you had been in class. Anyway, long story short:
One of my classmates was a total spoiled asshate, always should have gotten into trouble, but he was the son of the the teachers husbands boss. So she let him get away with murder, so in a twisted way, it might help her husband get a better job. She gave him Green Stars (The best star) everyday, and I, who was actually a very good student, not having any friends to get into trouble with, got a green star, maybe once a month.
So then, back to my original thought, I wonder if such things ever happen here on fluther? I mean you can’t figure out who gave you lurve, but if you are as obsessive as I am, and paranoid, you can draw deluded conclusions on the people who give you lurve. I always pretend the person who asked the question, or the very next person to answer after me, gave me the lurve. Obviously I know that anyone can give luve at any point, and do, but this method makes me feel fluffy inside.

Anyway, I was just thinking about that idea, here, at 4:00 in the morning.

Just to clarify: I am not asking about changing the lurve system, or even saying it is a bad thing, I love it. I am just wondering if anyone else thinks about it as much as I do. I just don’t want this question to get modded off.
