I returned to LGF after not posting for quite a while a few weeks ago. This upding-downding thing was new. IMHO, it encourages posters to insult one another and Obama or pick-your-Democrat. Basing that opinion on just my observations over the last 2 or 3 weeks I’ve noticed on several occasions, a pack mentality that will gang up on one individual and unmercifully hector them until they leave. The most inventive(and admittedly funny) insults get the most updings. Whatever happened to the GAZE option? I have to say that I’m unaware of how bothersome these people were because I usually come into it with the insults in full swing and I don’t bother to read up. Perhaps they needed to be run off, I don’t know. I do know that it gets boring reading the same back and forth insults and does look a little ridiculous sometimes. Some people need to develop thicker skins.

Someone recently suggested a “top 100” upding and “top 100” downding list. This would be interesting and would disprove or prove my observations. I think most of the regular posters are interesting and I enjoy reading their input. Some very insightful thoughts are posted here and I will continue to come back. I just thought it worth mentioning and see if anyone else noticed a change after the dings started.
