    I will state once again that this silly idea that you do not care about other people's opinions is nothing more than a teenager stamping their feet. 

    We are social animals who evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to be social, it is an absolute requirement for survival. If you think you do not require the approval of your peers you are a moron and your opinion is absurd. 

    Sorry, but the "I don't care what people think" argument is not a true representation of the way most people feel most of the time, it is a petulant strop, an irrelevance. 
    Is that why you put 'Shower with your Dad' as your answer to the game you have the most hours in?
    you ever stumbled across a joke before?

    No offence, but that you missed the humour in that response, and that you are legendary, sum up the banality, the safe comments that gets you likes. 

    You strike me as a humourless robot that says what they think people want to hear them say... then you get likes, and then your (lack of) opinion becomes the acceptable norm, and that is awful because it is toothless and banal.

    Only thing I care about is the fact that you posted this in the pub and it has nothing to do with mmo's.

    Yeah I thought it was funny yet was curious if you putting that just to get LoL's since you never really answered the question. Just made a joke...you know for the peers.
    Ok, now I feel slightly guilty about my last post, but give it some consideration.

    So how I strike you is a definition of who I am?
    My comments did not earn me Legendary, my thread count does.
     I disagree with many on here and state my opinion often enough to be disliked by many. Look at my comments today. Most were disagreeing with people.
    Educate before you insinuate.
    No, no, I like that little misdirect. You disagreed in the most gentle of ways, and since we all disagree here, you'll still get 50% of the audience right? 

    Don't be silly.

      I try and disagree in a way that is rational and cogent to further the conversation, not shut it down.

    So, the question becomes, am I trying to shut the conversation down, or highlighting a conflict of interest that stems from a possible need to obtain "up votes" (or there equivalent)... which takes us full circle.

    So, the question becomes, am I trying to shut the conversation down, or highlighting a conflict of interest that stems from a possible need to obtain "up votes" (or there equivalent)... which takes us full circle.  
    Of course it is full circle. Meaning we finally stopped the tangent and got back on topic.
    You stated it is silly to think people don't care about what others think so I ask, again, is that why you posted that response? You got 3 LoL's so they found it funny which probably made you feel good I am sure. I'm not a very funny person so it would make me feel good.
    My feel good on this site comes from when someone thanks me for sharing something in a thread. Introduced them to a new game or news story or something like that. I wish I was funny. =)
    Very cute. But you know LOLs are downvotes ;) But I will answer the question you did not quite ask, but wanted to. Am I writing this thread for attention? Yes, of course, as is everyone here. Anyone who has ever created or responded to a post here wants attention... that is normal. If you think it is abnormal, then you are probably kinda abnormal. 

    But, and here is the "but"... if it is a safe way (and I am not implying purpose, in legal terms) to generate attention, in making nice, simplistic news stories that are slightly vanilla and uninteresting, then that only reinforces my point. It means the whole site becomes vanilla and inconsequential. I would rather hear something edgy and honest.

    By "likes" I mean the various proxy "thumbs up" options on this site. Do they matter to you or not? Please read below before proudly protesting your aloofness; because it is likely to ring untrue. 

    Honest answers only please; no pretences not to care what other people think, of course you care, it is part of being human. So please none of the evasive, or pseudo self-effacing nonsense about not caring about other people's opinions.  

    My concern with this system is quite simple: it creates a social stigma that stifles honesty, and rewards mindless conformity. It basically silences dissent, individual opinion, or honest criticism via subtle and insidious form of censorship. 



    No problem with the "thumbs up" options on this site. There is no "dislike" feature which is fine. If people wish to "dislike" they can (and do) say so by posting here. 

    And by the way, if something really does not matter to someone, they can simply not post or ignore those "thumbs up" options or even any replies to things that they post.

    Let's party like it is 1863!

    What's so shocking about someone not caring what internet strangers think of them or their posts? I couldn't care less what people on MMORPG.com think of me. IRL, ya, I do place value in what my peers think of me.
