A Small Thing That Triggers Me For A Small Amount Every Time That I See It...

*gasp!* Similar peeps! *huggles*

I understand why you'd think I was using the word carelessly. It's like someone saying "lol" when it's barely smile-worthy. I'm okay with large amounts of likes on any given post. However, I hate it when I'm in a dominion, I put out a lot of material (some of which I believe is and can be considered good), someone likes my post...but, then I see that that same person has been liking every single post in the thread...It has to do with that innate desire to be accepted and valued in any given society. Getting likes helps placate that desire, but then the realization that the "like" act was hollow triggers a slight mood swing in me, as most people with ADD are want to do.

but then the realization that the "like" act was hollow

Or they could simply like all of the posts for something beyond the quality of writing.

I like posts to let folks know I read what they wrote and hopefully I shall get to a reply. Other times it because I am amused or agree on a point. Or I enjoyed the writing.

Not sure what the big deal is.

"There is no accounting for taste."

Culture is a weird animal. It causes humans from all around the globe to favor or to disgust different things with absolutely zero scientific evidence to the positive. Why does this group of people favor blonde people? Why does this group of people hate orange skin? Why does this group of people love farting at weddings? What is polite in such-n-such company? Why can't I clap my hands during his speech? Etc.

It's not bad to have pet-peeves. However, it is strange to think that an international community on the Internet containing 1000s of different cultures would ever find the time to agree with you. Lol.

I like what I like, exhibit my like of the things I like how I like, and don't care what anyone else thinks. This holds true for music, movies, books, television shows, religion, fashion, people, and Star Wars: Chaos posts.

I'm still going to PM them in two days and see why they haven't replied yet.

This would bother me to the point of dropping the thread. I don't typically reply on weekends, ever. If I do, count yourself lucky. Also, there are times where I'm just not feeling the thread, or the desire to post. If I got PM'd every 2 days about why I didn't post yet I would get pretty frustrated.

I didn't say every two days. If I had no communication with you whatsoever for a couple days, I would send a PM and find out what's going on. This is what my PMs typically consist of:

"Hey, are you doing okay?"

You'd tell me what's up and then I'd know what to expect. Easy peasy.

Why is it that people aren't picking up what I'm laying down? It's okay to like what you like, but I highly doubt that Character X honestly and truly likes every single post in a dominion. It's like he's passing out cheap participation ribbons. Besides, I didn't say at all that this applies to you or anyone else. The title and the content of my opening post are my feelings on the matter when I see "mass likes" from a single person. I don't at all expect everyone or anyone to feel the same way I do.
