What's the point of participating in a community when you don't care what others think? Seems pretty pointless to me.
There are a lot of reasons to participate in a community other than to seek consensus or approval. Has nothing to do with Blippy though.
Community? I know nobody here. Everyone, like me, is hiding behind a screen name. People get to 'downvote' anonymously, which to me is absurd. Yesterday, I make a near meaningless remark about Apple fan-boys, and got 7 points. Today, I make a more meaningful remark about how this really is a noteworthy failure -- and I'm losing Karma right and left. To me, this is comical. Community? How do you define that word?
:) I'd call this a community. You can find my real name and the real names of others on our profile. I've also met many people from here and have had people reach out to me through this site. It's the most real online community I'm part of. It's this way because most of us act sensible most of the time.
Not everyone is hiding behind a screen name. In general the most active users also tend to be the ones who say in their profiles who they are.
Only about 220 left to go. Let's see if we can reach zero by noon.
