A scary? thought....
If those who voted in the US election are used as a guide, Trump's likeability approaches 50%.
So is he as or even more more likeable than anyone on this forum?
Other thoughts...
And then one can like the post but not the poster?
And does one shy away from posting stuff that one feels people on this forum will dislike?
And choose stuff to post that is likely to get a like?
A
scary? thought provoking thought....
Mayhaps the word like is wrong.
Also called karma again wrong.
It is possible to manipulate your quota of likes by deliberately making comments that fit into the norms of a forum. Personally I get more strokes from making a comment that results in healthy interesting debate rather than a furry of "me to" likes.
Some like your good self gerontocrat put an immense amount of effort into adding content like your ongoing data presentations that is not reflected in your like count even though most of us to appreciate your effort. In the past I have reached out and PMed a personal thanks to commentators who offer such untiring unrewarded content or as I have just done to you made a public deceleration of appreciation. I find being on the receiving end of such interactions hold more weight than collating anonymous hits on the like button.
