116. Although I do enjoy open discussion, I have seen way too many

OPS where I thought "you just can't argue with stupid" - especially the vitriolic and "knee-jerk" ones. These OPS I certainly don't want to kick by posting my disagreement, so I enjoyed being able to just "unrec" and move on.

Also, there are a lot of people on DU who prefer to lurk rather than post - but could still regeister their opinion by rec or unrec.

Finally, I definitely agree with your assessment that it helps to stablize the Greatest page, not only from "attention whores" but also from trolls.
