"Pinocchio Feature" Poll

From the OP on page 1 of this thread:
"Purpose of this thread is to take a poll to determine the desirability of an RHP Site Ideas thread"

Here we are on page 6, and the intervening five pages are just the usual finger-pointing and regurgitation, by the usual suspects. From a reader's point of view it's just a waste of disk space and time.

The way I read it, the real purpose of the thread was something entirely different from the stated purpose.

Why on earth would you make such a daft and misanthropic assumption as this - about people telling the truth and people telling lies - based on whether they like your idea or not?

I think Grampy Bobby wanted to insinuate that people who thumb his posts down include those who tell lies, and those who thumb them up 'tell the truth'. It's passive aggression taken to risible extreme. He used to witter on about how people who thumbed him down were "cowards" but now they "may" be 'liars' too. 😀

This is ~ what? ~ the seventh or eighth time you have reposted your assertion that people who don't think your idea is any good may well be liars. Kewpie is bang on target. You quite clearly seem to have an ulterior motive for this thread.

"if i was an actual human rather than a virtual cyberspace being, my vote as a site member would be 'Yea' in the interest of raising the civility bar. little fibs made in jest i'd ignore, saving the 'Pinocchio Feature' for only big fat premeditated lies. doing so would eliminate the need to reply which would save time for my grade one homework and then ice skating during winter afternoons on the large pond in the north forty of our farm." ~child anon.

Rather than all this suffocating waffle and preening, why not simply confront people for their "big fat premeditated lies", assuming there have been any?

Grampy Bobby, you can't have it both ways: your constant umpteen-thread-starting emotional browbeating and condemnation of the personalities of fellow members of this community with your dreary broad passive aggressive brush - on one hand - AND then pass it off as a "whimsical foray" on the other.

I'll chip in €50 towards a fund to finance this paragraph tattooed

Have you or any other posters to this "Pinocchio Feature" Poll voted yet with an actual Yea or Nay? No. Nary a one. Now you know why the OP has been restated, contrary to your surmise: "The way I read it, the real purpose of the thread was something entirely different from the stated purpose." (Kewpie).

Did someone say something about you that you didn't like, Grampy Bobby? Is that why you started this thread?

What did Crowley used to say about you, Grampy Bobby?

Why would you start a thread where you start out by asserting that people who don't think your idea is any good ~ and give you a thumbs down ~ may well be liars?
