"While Pseudo and Co. wage their war on the new site, I've been happily posting here, and reaping a few green orbs for it. During the times that I didn't get green orbs, for example on short comments that I never wanted to get rated anyway, I chose to stay quiet about it, but not because I want to show that I'm emotionally strong, or the bigger man, or anything. Of course I get upset about it. I like green! Their cyan-and-lower ratings not only bring down my average, but also look ugly on my green-themed posts. Basically, it rustles my jimmies more than a little bit. Before, as some of you know, I might have started to complain because I didn't want my comments to get downrated for something trivial. Yet now I choose not to reply because I know that what I have to say will likely be met with hostility, based on my experience with Fig Hunters."
