Hello Robert:
Below is a paragraph that I cut and pasted just as it was done In a response to Bob Campbell’s post about truth and bias. I do not normally respond in a negative manner But I feel in this case that I must make my opinion known.
If you truly feel the need for reputation you might begin a post of the week archive. That we can put our favorite posts into by our vote. Then also will they be there for others to read even after the thread has fallen off the list.
This place (ToeQuest) is like one that I hope will one day control the spread of opinion. Without the personal politics.
I do think that there is a bit of that creeping into our midst here at ToeQuest. I do not agree with the rating system that they are now using. I understand that Robert has reason for his methods. But It is resulting with people posting 13 or more posts per day to increase there reputation rating. I am afraid that this has not improved the material being discussed here. I think in fact it is causing some to spread a bit thin. It also makes it harder to find material that you wish to read. The posts have less time to be visible as they are quickly pushed off of the page by material that is in fact also getting a bit thin.
I realize that this is not the place to say this except that you have seen first hand what the final result of this will be…
I will now copy this last paragraph and post it also to the thread that deals with reputation.
Thank you for the work you put into your post it should have been given the opportunity to be seen where you originally tried to put it.
