    I find that ones personal day, relative to work, family, or more so Politics, creep into attitude
    in posts these days.

    My observance is a critical armchair look, where I am not overburdened with work, and in general, hoping we dont bring the personal trappings of drama from Facebook.

    Perhaps unintentional, by the social validation, and the need to repetitively post, drains the emotion on a thread to
    a downward spiral.

    Seriously, if you are someone that knows you have repeatedly posted Stern Sucks, Stern code Sucks, JJP Sucks,
    This game sucks, over and over, maybe you might recognize that the value you get yourself from doing this
    is at the expense of Joy of others.

    Doesnt mean one is wrong, or that your opinion shouldnt be heard, but the droning, and ganging up on,
    is a by product of social media mentality, and in other forums, the pure size of input dilutes it, but here its like
    "Oh, No" Arts saying his LEDs are great, So and so is raving again why GB sucks.

    If we are aware that we are droning on, maybe, without any offense meant, we can adopt a type, wait a few minutes, re-read, and then post, giving our thoughts a chance to decide on, if we wish to post this, or am I simply repeating myself.

    Great weekend Guys!

    Social media sites control voting differently.

    One method is to remove social voting.
    Another, is that they stay anonymous.
    A third way is upvotes show voters Avatars, but down votes do not.
    Yet another way on a prominent site is to tally only upvotes, with ID,
    but negative votes are not tallied at all, it just stays "red" that someone disagreed.

    Indeed, some of us, do take this personally, which is understandable.

    Does anyone think any of these changes might help?
