I should get a gold star for that. You could call it the "I am not a mindless dibber-dobber little snitch" award.

I don't think I've ever recced something or unrecced it either, although I am vaguely aware of those concepts. Like other forms of internet epeen, it seemingly motivates other people but seems to have passed me by - eg "holy Jesus, look how many recs I have" - I can't stand Facebook for that very reason (and others).

To be honest, I am vaguely surprised that this forum didn't end up getting canned entirely, and that was my impression when it didn't appear in the top menu of the forum boards.

My guiding philosophy on such matters is: This is debate on the internet - the stakes are very low. It serves me well.
