You didn't provide support for any valid use in post #29. Try again. And this time, try to be intellectually honest.
My comments 'support' themselves, smithee. -- You're being dishonest by not citing the specifics of my supposed dishonesty.
Here's my post #29. -- Try again yourself.

General questions to all of you, Do you agree some people could find their posting-patterns put on public display to be intimidating, or have a chilling effect on them?
Of course it could, if said posting patterns revealed that they were only posting during business hours, for instance.. Leads one to wonder, at least, - who is paying for their chit-chat habits..
-- I suspect that in many such cases, the public is paying.
Just a hunch of course, based on the fact that most of these 9 to 5 types support bureaucratic institutions .
Do you agree this sometimes seems to be done to silence their competition?
Do you agree this could be seen as abusive?
I see it as a form of whistle blowing on cheating public servants, -- But I could be wrong, of course.
or wasteful of F.R.'s CPU time or bandwidth?
Thats what FR is all about, imo, exposing government cheating, fraud & corruption.. You object?
#29
Nonsense. Anyone who wishes to know would have clicked on the trusty "|To 29|" underneath my post, and read your shockingly lame argument that somehow, publishing a user's pattern is "whistle blowing on cheating public servants" who FReep during working hours. I don't think you're stupid enough to believe that, but I do believe you think there are people here who are stupid enough to buy it.
Nonetheless, anyone who is on FR is probably intelligent enough to find your post him/herself. I commented on your response; I did not mischaracterize it.
