Reputations

[Lhunardawen]

Though sorely tempted more than once, I have yet to give a negative rep. I think if I did, it would be for rudeness, meanness, cruelty or outright arrogance. In my opinion these things disrupt the Downs' atmosphere of respectful discussion more than anything else.

Preach it, luke10_27...er, mark12_30!

*snicker* Cute, Lhun.

*runs around, giving glitter and rep points to passers-by* I am the new Top Rep Giver! Poor Heren no longer bears that mantle, sadly; but now he can go on being munificent. *gives Heren a deputy badge*

And I now have a new jewel! *grins and gives gold stars to the nice people*

EDIT: Ah! Lalwendë has ascended to Aragorn's Court as well! Congratulations to ye! *shakes Lalwendë's hand and gives a gold star*

Abedithon le,

Interesting. . .

This post is now the most highly rated one I have ever written. Apparently, Downers prefer to "LOL" than "hmmmm" thoughtfully. . .

*Fordim notes that davem never posts to Crazy Captions. Fordim rubs hands.*

Not so much LOL perhaps as WOW that you knew and pastiched the "surpressed second verse" of GSQueenie.......

I think what did it for me was the fact that I have pass by a picture of Her Madge every time I leave the office, she owns all the copyright on my darned work and I'm supposed to be her 'servant'. So any disrespectful behaviour is always welcome.

How did you work out that it was your most highly rated one?

If you click on the little reppie-scales for one of your own posts you get a window that shows the comments for that post alone, along with a summation of its reception. In this case, the response for the post in question is "Extremely Positive". Previous to this the best I've ever had was "Very Positive".

I once worked it out that I am also, technically, servant to the Crown insofar as my salary is paid, ultimately, by the taxes levied by the Crown from Her Loyal Canadian subjects.

Does this mean I should get a portrait of the Queen for my wall. . .?

(At least I get to retain the copyright on my work -- for what it's worth -- not much.)

And Lal.. these days we don't even get nice passports that say (more or less) that HM will send a fleet of battleships in to help us if Johnny Foreigner gives us any trouble on our travels.. My new one is a hideous shade of orange (and that isn't just my hair in the photo).

Fordim - I think that makes you a self employed civil servant ... bet that you have got your pension stitched up a treat ..... *ducks to avoid Lal throwing things at me*

I sense I am testing the BW's tolerance here so I will leave you high falluting court types to your debates and get back to the scullery where I belong.....
