Agreed. We would become lazy and turn into clicking drones. Tangible opinions are needed, be heard ....andika kitu.

You guys are starting to deviate from the topic, this "giving without mincing" thing should be discussed outside the forum.

In fact i now suggest that instead of having like, we have a thumbs up and thumbs down, so that whichever post gets more than a specified number of thumbs down gets hidden automatically.

This is a self-regulation mechanism like no other. It will work like yahoo's comment section appearing after every story.

@quicksand, @aemathenge, @tycho - Just giving someone a thumbs up does not mean you cannot go ahead and add some useful piece of info. In fact it ensures the trend of thought progressively increases knowledge and reduces the need for members to respond to awkward comments. This is a good idea.

I know that you deal with me in a decidedly unfriendly way, and I have preferred it that way. Please, keep it up!

I don't know how many read, or take me seriously. And I think trying to find that out is self destructive.

I am content with my own reflections, and of those that I read.

I haven't read all of your posts, and of those that I have, there are some that I have taken seriously, and others I haven't taken seriously. Many are those that I haven't understood.

So those scores you are keeping are just a reflection of your thinking.

You are a very good specimen to study.

And do you think I don't speak to you as it is? I do it every time!

I didn't understand what 'removing my mind' means.

@blueman, I had decided to keep quiet until I saw @Anti_Christy highlited his idea of changing people.

I understand your point, but, making a post with the fear that you may get a thumbsdown, means that foolishness is illegal.

And it is possible that a fool may seek knowledge. What if he annoys 70 times 7 times?

There's also something to learn from a fool. As the late Pope used to say, foolishness is a gift from God'.
