Reply #80: There is no basis for your claims.

When you use terms such as "strawman" and "ad hominem attacks" they should mean what the terms imply. You have used both terms, and used them wrongly. Those who find the unrecommend feature a positive are not engaging in either. They are responding to the straw man arguments and ad hominem attacks by those whose feathers are ruffled over the change to the Recommend system.

Your argument, for example, is a straw man argument. You set up as your straw man the argument that some sinister force is coalescing to attack your imaginary, virtuous posters who only seek to do God's work here at DU - those poor, beaten down defenders of the Recommend-only faith.

The only thing fishy going on is the unbridled fits by the handful of posters who hate the unrecommend feature because they can't stand being graded unworthy of the Greatest page for their weak ass threads.
