What's this?

Ok

"Put in a call to Donald, sounds like you could be the next justice" and "dang sounds like someone struck a nerve" aren't exactly necessary or productive. As for the rankings, a number of those guys post pretty good analysis or insight despite getting personal at times...we're all human I suppose, and aren't foolproof. I typically don't take notice to the rankings or the fake internet points though, but usually only respond to people complaining about them, and if it makes you feel better I will +1 you anytime I see some well thought out constructive posts :-). I was initially trying to explain why Ffx gets a lot of negative votes. P.S- love the old CavMan logo on your avatar, I can never find any gear with it anymore.
