Is the anonymity of an internet forum where you use a fake name not enough security for you to ball up and disagree or agree with someone’s comment? Are you afraid that you won’t be taken seriously at the next “summit” if your opinion differs from that of self proclaimed “council of elders”? Just hitting a button, not actually putting your opinion out there, just being a gutless wanker with no real opinion at all.” Put up or shut up”, that’s my opinion.
To The Coast, I double click on the “thumbs down” (dislike) button, for the stupid “like” or “dislike” buttons. —Poo Flinging Ape

Great. Another one of these.
You do realize that the regulars usually only attack stupidity or entitlement, right?
Other opinions are encouraged. I think it’d be awfully boring around here if we all had the same opinions. I have no problem calling regulars or anyone out if I disagree with them, and if others are just agreeing to placate the ‘council of elders’…. well I think that’s awfully sad.
And, if you can’t take the heat of a good argument, or are such a fucking delicate flower that you can’t disagree and stand up for yourself, than maybe LTWWB isn’t for you.
“council of elders”
Lulz. No one has “self/proclaimed” a “council of elders”.
Why does it burn your biscuits so bad that people get to talk freely here?
Maybe you should blog “Anonymous Poster of the Week”?

How do I become one of these entitled elders?! Sounds like a sweet position. I wonder what sort of benefits it has to offer?
I mean, who doesn’t enjoy talking down to others from a position of authority?
I agree the like and dislike buttons are stupid. If you have an opinion, put it in words, don’t just push a like or dislike button.
Sorry, Harper… I just really had to ‘like’ that one.
I wonder if OB’s ever considered that MAYBE sometimes the ‘dislike’ button gets pressed by people who also post an actual post about it?
Short-sighted dolt!
Herp derp
Maybe ….. just maybe some of the peeps clicking the LIKE button are the same peeps that comment ……. I know I do both!
Thanks for letting me know it’s okay to disagree … I upset myself regularly and I’m ashamed that … “I am Persevere and I am a follower.” I have a problem in that I’ve always felt a desperate need for people to like me and agree with me so I can feel good about myself.
Now that you have shown me the light, I feel as though the weight of a big harry gorilla has been lifted from my shoulders … I now understand that it is okay to disagree and so, the next time I see a post or comment I don’t like, I’m gonna go absolutely APESHIT on their ass flinging as much virtual shit as I can produce. I’ve never been to a summit and so I won’t have to worry that someone will be angry with me or hand me a dry cleaning bill; and it’s gonna be virtual so it won’t stink either.
Thank you OB … you have saved me!!!
Besides, this is a sounding board, not an echoing board. Without the Like and Dislike buttons people would be forced to post redundant statements over and over. By a simple button click, now they can participate and add weight to their opinion (even if someone else wrote that opinion. I know I ‘Like’ posts because someone else put my opinions into words better then I could have myself.
if I see a comment that reflects my own opinion I’ll generally like it rather than posting my own because I can be lazy like that.
This again? Do you fools read comments or do you just skim through ’em?
We disagree all the time.. fucks sake
I dislike all this….
this is actually one of the dumbest things i have read in a while…
i don’t think they really read the comments
Who the heck takes the internet serious for opinions on things, anyway?
It’s like hating on dogs for pooping in the yard.

p.s. I love all the “dislikes” on this Bitch. Someone has gone through a lot of trouble to realize the thumbs up/down doesn’t mean anything.
Now if you’ll excuse, The Council of Elders/Bilderberger Knitting Circle are meeting to troll the CBC comments page.
🙂
I think the likes/dislikes are funny.. there is at least one person out there who dislikes any given post and it can be the plainest, non-opinionated statement and someone will still dislike it. Like I said how my kitteh looked like a kitteh gif that B posted and it got a few dislikes. I wouldn’t take them too seriously. Sometimes when using my phone, I may hit a like or dislike button by accident and not bother to try to fix it as the full version of this site can be a bitch on my phone.
“council of elders” Oh. Moses smell the roses!

I think someone’s just angling for an invite to the next summit >; )
..and for the record, just because some of us are wrinkly as an elephant’s scrote, that doesn’t necessarily make us “elders”
“DEATH BEFORE MATURITY!”
crows really like pot roast
What a useless bitch.
my dear ape, what is it that you are trying so very hard to say. are you disgruntled with us bitchers, or are you mad, that you have not had a summit invite.
i have missed more than i have been to, and that is about what now guys, 6?
i have met a lot of the elder bitchers and right off, they are like you and i, except maybe the 2 heads. if you can get past that,and the claws and 3 eyes, then you would and should fit right in.
our resident commander and chief, would love to show you some of his business, and trust me, there are a lot of it. as to paingirl, kitty, donk, and all the other sweet thangs, well, you have to judge for yourself. the suckster here, has a big horn growing out of his bdy, and it gets bigger, everytime a cutie walks by.
so be a pal or pal-ette, and don’t be so distant, and maybe, just maybe, you will make a summit sometime. just remember to bring your sword. you know, the one with 5x hitting power.
Interesting. Somebody who is familiar enough with the site to know that there is a summit among some but obviously doesn’t follow it enough to know that disagreements abound among the regulars.
have you seen the new nat geo, critter guy? there be doggies
exactly! the last time Troodon showed up to a summit. We pinned him down and fed him anchovies on crackers until he apologized for some of his comments on the ‘warm beer bites’ bitch.
