Let's run a plot where you and FSG get married, just like Robin and Barney.  It can be pointless and overly long just like the last season of HIMYM

Wow, you're very important in your own mind.

Sweetheart, you made the comparison, not me.

Nah, I compared you to a mentally challenged tween, while Bunny chose the original Add a Kid.

She can’t respond. NC has prohibited all internet traffic to prevent the spread of computer viruses.

Lol. I wouldn't be shocked if this happened.

It's been a crazy busy week so I haven't had a chance to check for any updates on the investigation into the video I started this thread with. After seeing the one from Georgia it's reminded me to check. I don't think the dictator has come up with any new ways to make us miserable. The day isn't over.

Over 5600 cases in 24 hours here in NC. It is a single day record for the state. Over 337K cases to date. I'm curious to hear what Cooper does about it and how it will affect local businesses across the state.

I wonder that as well.  I know I did the pitty upvote then recanted.  So unless many others did that, idk.  Perhaps it’s mod powers or it’s a sign from above.  Either way, it’s awesome.

Mikesez, the one and only poster that can go negative in a positive world.

I’m glad he got what he asked for after asking not for. But I fear that it won’t change him.

People can take away their positive votes at any time regardless of how long ago they were given.

But I'm the petty one.  Yeah.

Well, if you didn’t piss off so many people, they probably wouldn’t renege what little upvotes you had.  So, I aske you, are you glad the upvote is back? Or do you feel like you’re not as adequate as
You thought you were? Or are you hoping Saturn or Uranus (whatever your ALt account is) will raise you to duvalpride.com superiority?

For the record, I have not done anything to your rep score.

I believe you.  I don't think I could verify it anyway.  When the points are gone, they're gone.

It's better for the site to have upvotes than have nothing at all.
I don't feel adequate or inadequate, I just worry new users will judge me based on the negative points, but at the same time I know if they choose to stick around they'll eventually judge me based on what I say, not what the number is. 
But enough about me!
What pissed you off anyhow?

Isn't that how you got the negative number in the first place?

Just use an app like tapatalk and you won't see it, no reason to care.

I do miss the option to up vote since I can't do it in the app

Hard to say! That was the whole issue.  Folks who weren't even involved in the conversation would ding you and never explain if it was because they thought you were bring rude, or they thought you were silly, or if they just disagreed.

But that's over now. We will never know. Those conversations are over, and the people who gave the dings probably don't really remember why. So I forget about it too.

Now, if you want me to know that you have a problem with what I'm saying, you have to say it yourself. It's helpful.

You do realize some likely down voted you simply because they disagreed with something you said. No malice, no discontent. Just disagreed. 

Someone might say Queen is the greatest band ever and I'd have to disagree. Someone could say Adidas are the best athletic shoes and I'd disagree. A difference of opinion is sometimes just that and nothing more. 

You make it more personal than it most likely is when you come back with nitpicking, name calling, insults, etc. Or when you act like you know better than others.

Sure. 
If you don't agree with someone about the best rock band or best athletic shoes, you can either disregard it and never do anything bad to them, or post a reply, "The Rolling Stones are better" or "Nike makes better shoes." 
Both are perfectly courteous.
What's not courteous is just tossing an egg at their house and walking away.

So you're problem with the down vote is you don't get an explanation of why?
