@ghost-of-a-duke saidI'm a wee bit surprised that you don't also suspect that the Executioner Brand syndrome is not in play when there are 12, 15, 18, 20 thumbs. You remember us talking about this kind of thing in the divelounge, right?
Funny how FMF and yourself cling to that hypothesis.
@fmf saidNobody is denying a few odd characters pop up with more that one account. I imagine it is rather laborious though to login as such, especially just to deliver a thumbs down to a given post. Therefore, more often than not, 18 thumbs down were given independently by 18 posters who found your posting a little toxic.

No mention of any "toxicity" there at all. It's pretty clearly some people larking about.
Which of my supposedly "toxic" posts ever got 18 thumbs down?
How many thumbs down did whatever post you think was my most toxic one ever get?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThat's why these 12, 14, 15, 20 red/green thumbs incidents are relatively rare.

@fmf saidOkay, to bring you up to speed. If a post gets say 5 or 6 green thumbs it appears on the 'recommended posts' page which is viewed by people who perhaps don't normally visit the GF. In other words, it gets seen by a wider audience and is more likely to attract additional thumbs.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidActually the mentioned post is not in the "recommended" list, but other posts from the thread are...

maybe some look for that post just to see what all the fuss is about?
@ponderable saidDid it perhaps drop off the list, due to the date is was posted?
