Then quit spamming the threads with your stupid scorecards.

A few people here think that they get to tell everyone else what to do and think. You guys are control freaks. You are rude, and post thoughtless ad-hominum and insulting posts. Like "Stifle, Edith". What's even the point of that?

I don't appreciate it, and neither does our host, who has had to weigh into this thread a few weeks ago and school some of you on your attacking other Freepers and generally acting like you own the place. You do not.

Here is some advice: My post is one of about 1,000 on each thread, on average. If you don't like it, skip over it.

The reason I repost it is that it is a moving score card, it is formatted the same, but the score changes as events proceed. If you did bother to read the most recent one you would see that it has about a page of compeletely new commentary, with a half a dozen links in it.

It's not merely a snide insult to anyone, it's not telling anyone what to do.

There are a number of people who have critiqued my metric, and I have responded to them with my reasons for doing what I do, and in some cases made changes.

I usually just skip personal insults like yours, but it seems like a few of you guys are working as a team to attack people you disagree with and force us out of the threads.

It's not going to work with me.

By the way, it's not like everyone agrees with you. I have received a lot of positive feedback on my efforts, much of it on PM. Why PM? Because you are creating an ugly environment of intimidation on these threads.

Please, just stop it. Stop the name calling. Stop the intimidation. Stop telling people to "stifle", "give it a rest" and stop posting their views on these threads.

Instead how about creating something of value for the rest of us, as I am sincerely trying to.

Jack’s put up a pretty damn good metric. Just because you’re to impatient for the good guys to slather a few hundred points on the board doesn’t mean you have to be a douche about it.
