Integral makes a responsible purchase
Int, was thirsty after fighting hard to keep the intra webs free. Unforunately Int was out of refreshments. Int decided to go to the store for some beer. The store had many different beer selections. Int was going to buy some imported beer, but then thought about fellow americans and realized the purchase was more than "just about one's own thirst." Int had a problem deciding since Budweiser was owned by InBev. Int saw some other brands made in Florida and MA. Then a label with a fish on it named "Two Hearted Ale" seemed appealing. Int checked the label, made in MI. Int knew that fellow americans in MI were having an extrememly hard time and felt obligated to purchase. Int had a low expectation for things made in MI but bought the MI beer anyway. Later that evening, after dinner Int decided to crack open a "Two Hearted Ale". Int took a sip and was surprised on how good the domestic beer was. Now Int was relaxed, relieved and moreover felt great about making such a responsible purchase.

You made me go get a beer. Corona. Sorry, not domestic, but I have several domestics in my fridge. I'll take a look at "Two Hearted Ale" next time I'm in the store. :-)

Holy crap. Integral (and everyone else) you have to read this:

Freedom of Speech exists EVERYWHERE in America - and if it does not, then it must be reported to the Obama's White House. If they don't answer the phone, don't blame them. They are out at the shelter getting a new dog. But we all have FREEDOMS and that means saying whatever you want to whomever you want.......so liberating!!
I think I'll go burn my bra................zzzzzzzzzzz

Here is the link (page 11 - under all the censored comments)

By the way, it's nice to be able to say holy crap ... and not holy cr-p.

ReplyDeleteTake a look at this:
ColonelJanos reply to baba a few minutes ago:
"Story: Stocks facing uphill battle; budget, retail sales loom (3 minutes ago)
In reply to:babaiaga
BABA MAN, I have recently heard that you and LHOMBRE have started a new Market Watch group, called "THE RED THUMBS-DOWN SOCIETY." Now Mr. Paranoid there is no consiracy by MW to double down on your red thumb negative votes. Your fantastic negative vote to comment ratio is a result of one factor only--Your drivel, twaddle and nonsense. Have a great day from Col. J. P.S. We in the MW Community are still waiting for that huge intraday reversal in the stockmarket you predicted last week!!! LOL LOL LOL"
The reality is:
ColonelJanos has 9485 points from ratings, with 27655 points total
babaiaga has 812 points from ratings, with 13,264 points total
LHombre has 2027 points from ratings, with 20,984 points total.
You can't even tell the proportion of red to green thumbs in the ratings numbers, as ColonelJanos claims. But, who do you think is more likely a serial red-thumbsdowner? Likely trying to throw people off his trail. Don't forget he has 70 Watchguard points.
Of course, then you have ehofner, whose points go up by 1000 daily. And who has 17,000+ ratings points on the back of 25,000 points total. And who never posts. These numbers are readily available to the Admin, who can run reports. And they choose to do nothing about it.

#1- There are some great domestic "boutique" brewers. I personally enjoy IPA and Browns
ReplyDelete#2- MW's point system is whacked. TDs add to the total for every community member. Babs is the best example because he draws more TDs than anyone else on the site. BTW- he does it on purpose because he believes in free speech and uses the "Z" to express that.
I didn't know you get points for receiving TD's. Sure about that? Doesn't make sense. Have you tested it?
ReplyDeleteI do know for sure you points for TDing others.
Both policies, if true, are completely crazy and make zero sense.
.
That's how it works and yes its crazy. any thumb is a point
ReplyDeleteBTW- go to MW and look at my post on the headline story
and the twins are up
ReplyDeleteLet's be clear. Any thumb received by a user (red or green) is a point. And any thumb given by a user (red or green) is a point. Is this correct?
ReplyDeleteThe twins are on almost 24 hours a day. They are on ALL THE TIME. Every time I check ... the wee hours of the morning, late evening, early morning (6am). They live, breath, and eat MW.

QuestionEverything (QE) - make sure you read the threads below this one in detail ...
ReplyDelete.
prudent- is FrenchNy'er on the WatchDouche list?
ReplyDeleteNo. He may be a WatchDouche, but there is no way to prove it (you can't look him up). Read all my posts under the Watchguard thread. He falls into the category of users who have either abused or accidentally fallen into a MW bug.
ReplyDelete.
Prudent- yes every thumb equates to a point. TDs do not remove points. FUCDUP isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBTW- the only thing that lowers the MW members "points" are making bad calls on the picks page. Look at Equitygroups.com, he is a great example
ReplyDeleteQE - Basically if you have a "'" or a space, or any special characters in your username, the MW engine can't handle it. Nice programming, huh?
ReplyDelete.
How does that explain Sagacity1? He is a true ghost. No avatar, no reply or message option, and member not found.
ReplyDeleteDid you check out MW? censorship at its finest
Yeah, I'm familiar with Sagacity1. I'll take a look again because I can't explain it. There are others like him that seemingly have normal names. I'm sure there are other ways to abuse it too .. maybe a space at the end, or a special unseen character in the middle. Let me look again. Great programming, I must say!
ReplyDelete"Did you check out MW? censorship at its finest"
what do you mean exactly?
.
BTW, keep your eye on the "Watchdouche" thread. Updating constantly.
ReplyDelete.
I believe Sagacity1 has done something to his picture that prevents seeing his profile. Probably yet another bug.
ReplyDelete.
which thread is the "watchdouche" thread? Enemies of the State?
ReplyDeleteI know you didn't care for Toold and his preaching but I have him and JanPaul looking for the abUser moderators now too
Watchdouche thread = enemies of the state.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever spoke directly to JanPaul. As for Toold, we have a mixed relationship. I have a problem with people preaching religion on a non-religious board, but I certainly never reported any of his messages. I just wish he would tone down the God stuff. If it was God forum, it would be relevant. But not there.
That said, he was actively supporting me the other night. He was very upset when I was censored for defending his initial censorship. He even had people protesting the MW message to me by reposting it. That reminds me, oilinthewater is a complete dushbag. He came into the conversation, totally twisted the situation and spewed nonsense on legitimate complaints. Not to mention ocsidbush and others. And the serial thumbdowner was on full throttle. It was a full out assault on me and others. I finally said Fuck this, and deleted my account. It's like people can't think for themselves and use the TD for guidance. Idiots.
.
What sucks about MW is that since mid 08, the board was over run with political posters that never left. Since then, every day went further and further away from financial discussions. Back then, I made some extra money by watching, listening and making my choices from all of the different opinions. Sad that its over. Learned a lot along the way which was nice
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes a TD = points. Why I had so many total points even with -5000 pts.
ReplyDeleteSo you're telling me that baba's "Your Comments Helpful" of 11,200 come from all the thumbs-downs he has received from other users?
ReplyDelete.
By the way, the fact that Toold doesn't get slammed by censors for posting religious-laced messages makes it highly likely that the censors are heavily weighted towards religious right. I'm guessing if you said something anti-God, you would be censored in a heartbeat. Toold should be highly suspicious of anyone that follows him or his friends. Just my opinion.
ReplyDelete.
QE - Is there any way I can send you a private message?
ReplyDelete.
ColonelJanos, haha.
ReplyDeleteMore like the general and two colonels, haha
