I have not 'Thanked' one post in all my time here

    I'm not going to cave in. Whenever I feel my hand drifting towards the 'Thank' button to 'reward' kindness, helpfulness and to thank back in return , I remind myself that this is a cynical invention of the Illuminati to keep us distracted while the real issues happen in the background. Good try Mr Kenny.


    No Thanks. Not for such as I to court popularity with the mob. I am keeping my vow and it feelsgoodman.jpg

    Is there anybody else out there with a similar record ?

    My perfect record would be immortalized in history forever . I would be a martyr who took a stand against the mob of mindless thankers. I am sure there must be a downside somewhere :rolleyes:

    As the Samurai said [or maybe it was Richard Chamberlain in a miniseries set in Japan] , 'Only draw your sword if you intend to use it'.
    If the day comes , God forbid when I am forced to thank somebody - their laptop will explode and take their head right off. Such will be the profundity of that moment - combined with my awesomeness

    so basically you said you give thanks not out of the goodness of your kind heart but instead selfishly calculating for a gain of thanks ?

    and furthermore you do not give thanks for a post upon its merit but instead based upon backroom deals of thanks trading.

    Now this may be one of a few exceptions to the rule but it still dilutes and corrupts other narratives concerning the role of the thanks button.

    If this is not an example why I have walked away from the corrupt thanks system then I dont know what is :pac:

    what eats me up inside is a world full of people mindlessly thanking each other, slaves to the system but do they really mean it. What does it all mean man. They thank because its there , its easy , its convenient and everyone else does too but that doesnt mean its the only way

    You will find that you disagree with certain posters generally. Some will just have different opinions due to being much older than you or whatever. So it's good to look at the thanks before you read a post. Saves me time when I see some people that I know I disagree with have thanked the post and I just skip past the post. So the thanking system is great in that regard.

    That's not disagreeing with the post or it's logic.

    I have never thanked a post or had a post thanked. I am operating completely outside of the thanks system. I'm a lone gunman, a loose canon, flying under the thanks radar. You may not have thanked OP, but you've been thanked and that makes you weak.
