Sid isn't in it for the content, he's in it for the posse.

It doesn't matter if he agrees with the argument its about sides.

Look upthread when he is confronted on the OP he doesn't defend what is written in the OP he defends the OP because somebody else somewhere else at some other time has suggested (in frustration with the spamming of the OP on the subject) that he was doing it for money.

This isn't being rec'd because he agrees with what the OP said, its being recc'd because for some its a matter of running with the same posse.

"Somebody said something bad about this guy somewhere else so I am going to rec this thread because my Posse-mate is my Posse-mate, and the more posts that are made the better it is because the more the posse-mate can rec the posse-mate."

Oh and the use of the when there is nothing actually funny? Its a substitute for "I got nothing" by weak minds.
