I just noticed. How come the administrators came up with rules without consulting anyone? How come they are trigger-happy and ban many people for political opinions?

I send a high-five to you for having the guts to say this when I did not. I read it last year in class, and that has simply become my biggest worry. What if this turns out like the Russian Revolution had? I must speak to my teacher from last year. She was a great protester and had a very realistic view of the world. I wish I was at my old school to have a conversation with her on a daily basis about Occupy and her beliefs....

I had a comment about an extention cord reach -3 in a few minutes. I had been posting on a string of a pro OWS suggestion that I had made. However when I look back at my comments that many in OWS don't agree with they are still at +1. I thnk the OWS admin made a mistake by making it to easy for a few people to delete strings with sockpuppets and hot spots.

It's a coincidence you should bring this up. I just finished making a comment about this to 'agnosticnixie' about fifteen minutes ago. Personally I don't agree with the 'like' 'dislike' option. No only does it make it harder to follow the flow of the conversation by rearranging the comments, it gives some of the readers too much control over the conversation. They can downvote you simply because of their opinion of you or your comment. I don't think this is right. Everyone's comments should carry equal weight in an 'uncensored' conversation.

Yea, I prefer healthy debate to censored conversations.

Everyone's getting trolled!

Delete the admins, so they can troll harder.

Sure thing.

Have you noticed what happens when comments get a rating of -4?

[-] 0 points by TheStop (53) 13 years ago

I don't like the movement i am a anti-OWS, but its true.

Perhaps because it is their website?
