Done. Thanks.

If someone is posting plays its a good way to know you "like" them....otherwise why would someone keep posting plays if no one "llkes" them?

Uh because they generally love analyzing games and don't have such low self esteem that they need to have an affirmation from an anonymous poster that they don't know to feel good about themselves. Anyone can see the views of their posts so clearly they know if people are looking at them or not. Here's a thought...maybe people shouldn't be so lazy and actually converse with others? I think that's ultimately the goal that Freak wants.

And I should add bm10, should I care if I go 10-0 on selections if no one "likes" them? Hell, might be a room of Golden State Warrior fans that are just pissed because I'm hitting games by selecting their opponents. This conformity thing you guys have going here just cracks me up. The most important thing is outcome not popularity.

Thanks for your input bm10. It isn’t about counseling or self esteem for some or laughing at your opinion. Some people like having it and some don’t care. Either way your input is appreciated.

Agree to disagree. It absolutely is about self-esteem.

Maybe for you. Nobody else has talked about self esteem once in this thread. That seems like it is absolutely your issue. Usually when people constantly talk about self esteem issues, they are the person dealing with one

And again Wayne, back to the Ad Hominem/gaslighting attacks (amazing that a mod uses this tactic...I've made no personal attack whatsoever toward you and merely made a rational response to the original comment). Unfortunately, you really haven't refuted anything I've said and reinforced it by claiming (in your words) it "can make someone feel better" (if that's not about self esteem, I don't know what is). And no one said anything about counseling or laughing at picks. These are just some tangents you seem to want to get into. Are you actually looking for people to converse or looking to squelch conversation that doesn't agree with your viewpoint? Seems like the latter to me.

I made an observation just like you have. You chose to laugh at the last guy in here who had an opinion and you choose to talk about us like we have self esteem issues because we like the change, but when I say I think maybe it is you with the problem you throw your arms up and cry wolf?

Seriously, get over it. If you do not want those things said about you, do not start by saying them about others. And you reported the post. SMH

Of course I reported the post. I'd like Freak to be aware of a mod that uses these techniques (doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it since he wants to encourage conversation and apparently you don't). No one laughed at anyone (it's just again, a little tangent you seem to want to get into because you can't directly address comments). And I explained the "self esteem" comment using your own words. Perhaps you should get over it.

Again, your opinion. If you do not like differing opinions,think about that before attacking others with your own

And cracks me up is pretty clearly laughing at others and their opinion.

Again, the only one that started attacking and continues to attack is you. I think it's pretty apparent and the words speak for themselves.

For the love of all that is holy, please stop this nonsense.

It's a fn like button, people asked for it back, I worked to get it fixed and back. It's a feature of nearly every forum out there.

It has nothing to do with self esteem or anything of the sort. It's a feature to say hey, thanks for posting that handicapper or hey I like that play or reasoning or just a way to say hi thanks for being here.

Enough is Enough. I have enough on my plate and this is not one of them I need to deal with........................

I am confused. What does self-esteem have to do with this? I am talking about plays in paid professionals. They aren’t my picks. I don’t care if anyone likes the pick I just want to know if people like me posting them. Otherwise, I won’t waste my time.

Bingo. Well said, bm10. I agree. Sure i 'like' when ppl post plays, but im not going to lessen its worth by liking every post. Often times, I Like a post because it is a play from a particular capper that i repect, and doesnt get posted as frequently (say a Spreitzer 7☆ or Lee Sterling 40 Unit Play - hint hint) 😁 What i do NOT like is ppl that hate on the Like button. He is our friend. Really just a way of saying thanks, in my opinion.
