Would you call Rosa Parks a hypocrite because she rode on the bus?
No, because she was never against riding on the bus.

That won't help him as non subs don't have alert buttons either.

Just because I've tried to use the wrecked-system to make my points doesn't make me a hypocrite.

Rosa Parks wasn't against riding the bus, she was all for riding the bus freely. You claim to be against the rec system and yet you cry for recs. How are these two things in anyway similar.

Spamman: I think you're confusing me with Serendipity. I don't beg for recs.

I do give them out freely, some would say too freely, to people who post things that are kind, considerate, and friendly.

Did you or did you not support Serendipity's rec campaign?
Do you or do you not use recs as a reward for those that support your own stomach churning campaign?

How can you possibly hold a contrary position to a system which you clearly make use of for your own ends, without being a hypocrite?

So in many people's eyes, you are ruining the general forum.

I definately have handed out recs, some would say too liberally. Didn't I just say that?

I absolutely support serendipity. Even if I didn't, I would still find the whole thing hilarious and would probably still rec him for the good laugh.

History is full of examples of individuals who made use of a system that they were oppossed to.

I realize you have a desperate need to attack me, but this just isn't a very good argument for you.

I started to respond and then you edited your post and changed the meaning.

How am I ruining the General Forum?

By giving away reccs?

A lot of people gave away a lot more reccs than me, before i got here.

You don't have to agree with what I say, what I stand for, or what I rec.

But, if I was able to ruin the gen forum in 3 or 4 weeks, it must not have been very strong to begin with.

Haven't you asked that a couple of times already?

You can call me anything you want Spamman. I can't stop you from calling me names. I won't even try.

Good luck with your anti-Red Night campaign. I hope it makes you happy!

Come on Starman do something creative. Write a song or poise. This should give you inspiration to write your first acidic hit.

"I started to respond and then you edited your post and changed the meaning."

I misinterpreted your intial statement in this thread

As for you ruining the general forum. Before you arrived, despite there being some irresponsible rec whoring/rec giving away, there was still a high percentage of recs being given out to sensible/intelligent/witty posts, which is what the rec system was put in place for. Now, no one can really trust the rec system, becuase you started of a cascade of recs to meaningless causes.

I didn't realise I had asked you a question. Also, I don't call you neames, I refer to you only with words which are clearly applicable. Once again, the same cannot be said for you.

I think you're a plague upon the forums and it's a shame more people don't call you out.
