For showing the billions of people around the world what its like to waste your life away wanting to make others miserable, angry, or upset because you haven't gotten good reviews. The person that sits in front of their computer on Associated Content searching for an exceptional piece to simply bring it down in a hurry by a quick click of the mouse. A 4.9 out of 5.0 is no match for you as you sit back and change your IP address over and over to continue voting on one article until it has a rating of only 4. Staring at the monitor with a grin you watch as other articles drop like flies in your category of choice and without anyone knowing your article climbs the ranks. With a deep toned "muwhohahaha" laugh you realize jealousy is at its best and overcoming all odds.
So today I give you the "two thumbs up" Mr. or Mrs. Bad-Vote-Giver-Person. For making me be politically correct and not sound sexist placing a Mr. or Mrs. in front of your name. Because you of all people should know, if someone is offended or jealous their vote giving will be no more than a 2.

Post a CommentLOL he or she has made their way over to my side now Budio - lol... to my ex g/f and venting article hmmmmmmmm wonder who that can be - I know - dont tell me ~smile~
I give you two thumbs up!
This article is funny (in a dark sort of way).
Awesome...ha! Thanks for reading my work also, btw. You have a great sense of humor.
Um ... just laughing here - good read :)
Hilarious! GREAT job on this Michael, 5 stars! lets' see how long that rating lasts. And for such a skillfuly entertaining exposition, this Bud's for you. When I tune in to watch the Gints get creamed by Tampa Bay-I'll tip my glass your way(no Bud though), but not b4 I re-check your picks ;-)
I agree with Brian- the comments make the article! I know on my other blogs we go by a thumbs up/thumbs down system, and when I receive 10 thumbs up but 2 comments I feel a bit disappointed. If you read what's written, you must have an opinion, right?
A nice, humorous take on a problem! Thanks for the entertainment!
yea i agree Brian. At first I used to get disappointed and wanted to know the "reason behind" why it was getting knocked, but I don't anymore and think its comical. I really did have one that has over 2,000 views in a couple months go from 4.9 to 4.0 in one night, lol. Sillyness but definitely better off with the conversation, speculation, or praise like you said.
I've only had a handful of my articles affected by this type of behavior. I would love every one of my articles to be a 4.8 or above but really, I'm more interested in the feedback left by others. Someone offering a bit of praise, a question or challenge to something I've written or constructive criticism is worth so much more than someone clicking on a star in my book.
haha, thanks Leigh and Cathie :)
