But how does one get a star?
Seems that my posts get ignored without one. No matter if it a good post or even a sorry one. Seems to me that it turns out to be an exlusive club. Pay to play? I seriousy hope that isn't the case. Really, I do. Because this is a forum that should include everyone. Some may not have the means to pay the toll.
So, what does having a star mean? That your status is better than others? If not, why is it there? Why is that a symbol of support or intelligence? This is a thought that is indicitive of Repugs. If you ain't got the to the money, then you are not worth it.
If stars mean something to you, because they indicate who is contributing financially to your website....then that is a means to shame those that don't have the means to do so, but have opinions that are significant, worthwhile and worthy of being heard.
Stars be damned!
Ban me. I don't care! I like being here, but I don't NEED to be here. I don't need a star. I have my own mind, my own intellect, my own sensibilities. And, I don't feel that I should have a "star" to confirm that.
