Reply #43: Because I *did* understand your post is why I said what I said. [View All]

My point is this: it's ludicrous to care what a thread's rec or unrec total is. It's pointless and ignorant and senseless. Whether the unrec total is given as an actual total or as a nebulous "less than zero" is irrelevant - it's fucking stupid to care.

I took your post to a meta-level.

I know that you are whinging that a thread that has more unrecs than unrecs just says "less than zero" instead of giving the actual total.

But I'm taking it a level higher and saying that whether it says the actual total or just says "less than zero", it's still fucking stupid to care about.

Here's an analogy: you're saying that the tablecloths for the church dinner should be yellow, instead of white. I'm saying it's fucking stupid to even have tablecloths.

You're trying to engage me in an argument about the particulars of something, which specific something I don't think is even worth caring about to begin with.
