benhocking's Journal: A moderation I can agree with

Currently, this comment is moderated 50% Funny, 30% Insightful, and 20% Flamebait. I think that's fairly reasonable. Personally, if I could self-moderate, I'd probably call it 70% Funny, 20% Flamebait, and 10% Insightful, but we always think we're funnier than we actually are. I'm not sure exactly how many moderations it's received so far, but from what I can intuit, I think it's +4 Funny, +2 Insightful (rounded up to 30%), +2 Flamebait (rounded down to 20%). I'm not sure why the difference in rounding, though.

I was one of the "funny" votes.... ;-)

It'll be interesting to see...

It'll be interesting to see if someone else raises their hand and cops to being one of the flamebait votes. I won't take it personally, because I can't deny that it's not completely untrue.

Hehe

It wins my "best comment of the week" award :-) Wow and the thread is pretty entertaining too.

Thanks

As my later comment mentions, it wasn't meant to be taken too seriously - although from what I've read there actually is a grain of truth to it, since it seems that loyalty is more important to the current administration than competence. Not that loyalty hasn't been overstressed in other administrations as well - it just seems that this administration is taking it to whole new levels. And, yes, I'm biased.
