Dids started a thread about removing a mod- in unchained. And it's not like he wasn't a whiny bitch before that!

And Fly worse than PaulD???

I am starting to think that for many this is really not about bad posting but about revenge against those who dispense the butthurt. They are both aholes but Fly is skilled writer, has logic, and is hilarious. PaulD is an utter dip**** who goes around making judgements on people despite never saying anything of substance himself. And when Pauly does make any stab at a cogent thought he comes off like an imbecile.

How would butthurt dummies voting for Fly over PaulD be against a conspiracy against me?

Dammit, all the work I've done this week to beat Deuces in round two, and he's showing me up in a big way.

I'm not sure flys ever said anything harsh about me, and while I agree he does make some pretty good posts, he also makes a lot of brash posts with terrible tone, and that's leaving aside his now infamous autist attack.

PaulD was pretty horrible for a while there, defending every troll known to man, but it seems like enough time has passed that he gets why those folks are looked upon so poorly. He's been posting much better lately. Aside from that, he generally doesn't make all that horrible of posts anyway, so he just never seemed like a strong contender the way fly was destined to be a lightning rod.

Yeah, I would mostly vote for him. He's possibly the only poster I've called racist on here and not been partially trolling.

I'm really surprised to see a few smart people not voting for Foldn. How is that so close??

Before voting, I could see how others voted. Now, that info is hidden. Is that a feature or a bug?

And are people voting on who they think is good? Some of the totals just don't make sense.

spank getting demodded took away the prime spot where I was gonna make this point, but this'll do:

This little bracket seems a mite insensitive to mental health itself. You think thekid is just a normal ****ing dude who happens to pop onto the internets to throw up a few incomprehensible walls of text about religion?

Some of these posters are bad because they are mean or dumb or whatever, but as a non-doctor, I'm eyeballing these threads as disproportionately a way to shame the mentally ill.

Being in the right clique is a bigger factor than post quality.

Has Foldn actually made a post in politics or unchained before?

Dids posting isn't bad per se but his whining about spank's modding was annoying and lasted for months. And also, he engages spank and makes him post more, leading to threads getting worse. This is an important point for Team lol-ikes, if your post will invariably lead to a thread getting much worse then that's a bad post imo.

I guess perhaps it's explained by people never seeing his work, then.

I only know Foldn for standing on the side of truth and justice in the BruceZ debate.
