Why do I have to create a thread to get a positive recommendation?
When I un-rec a thread, the un-rec should have the name "Boojatta" attached to it, so that people can give a positive rec to my un-recommend. That way, everyone will see that my un-recommendation was glorious and deserving of the positive "recommended" that it received.

In my futile efforts to create one thread that will receive a positive evaluation, I clog up the system with many pointless threads. If I were more competitive, then perhaps I would appreciate that a thread created by me attained a rating of zero while many threads created by others are in negative territory. Alas, I am not a competitive soul, but merely an ambitious one.

6. Why do you care so much about a positive rec?
Just post whatever the hell you feel like posting (within the rules) and let the chips fall where they may.

8. Don't think of it as clogging.
Think of it as using a vast stage beautifully.

It may not be true, but it's a nicer thought. :)

14. You're not the only one. There's also Thickasabrick and perhaps others.
It's just that the negative rec givers outnumber the positive rec givers on this thread.
