Reply #32: Good intentions that led to Hell

[DonCoquixote]

I understand why Skinner and crew may have thought Unrec was a good idea, but truth be told, they might as well have dipped this board in Blood and chum and said "here Freeper freeper Freeper!", as well as encouraging people who think that their political passion entitles them to be rude (the same people who wonder why they cannot convince people of their beliefs.)

The proof is in the pudding; since this feature go introduced, the vitriol on this site has hot the roof! Granted, some of it was inevitable as various camps that united against the GOP turned on each other, but this place seems to be outright rewarding and encouraging hatred at times, most notable with the abuse of the Greatest page. Sorry, but the Greatest page is becoming yet another insider's self congratulation ceremony, minus the Oscar-styled evening gowns, but with the long speeches.

Now, I will say, all sides are guilty, from the people who think Obama is a messiah to the people who still want that Guillotine heavy revolution Comrade Trotsky promised. I have seen people I STRONGLY disagree with act in a way that EARNS respect, and seen people I STRONGLY agree with act so FOUL I want to put a paper bag over my head. Left, Center, Right, it does not matter, all sides have their share of Clowns and Heroes, emphasis on the clowns. Unrec encourages the clowns, and the circus.
