1. Booz | Allen | Hamilton : if you arent using steroids
2. Booz | Allen | Hamilton : why bother lifting

1. Cornelius : Nic, my posting acumen is vastly superior to Roland's. He will never surpass me in power.
2. Dionysian : hi cornelius
3. Dionysian : cornelius, you have more reputation, but you will never surpass my likes
4. Cornelius : Dyonisian, likes are like the empty compliments you receive from secretly envious co-workers. They mean nothing. Anyone can give you a like, you just have to press a button. But reputation? That's a WHOLE different world, man. Not only a new window is opened, disrupting your internet experience; you also have to WRITE a message. I mean, if someone reps you, he truly likes your material; he's taking pains to let you know that you are very good.
5. Dionysian : lol
6. Dionysian : but likes antedate the reputation system
7. Cornelius : So? They started working at the same time for everyone. My analysis is that you post more stuff that while not excellent, it's passable, witty or funny. OTOH I post truly thought-provoking, original, exciting content, so other users feel compelled to disregard the like button as superfluous and choose to rep me instead.
8. Dionysian : at most it proves that you improved your posting career after the reputation system had been installed and after I, through my tireless posting efforts and selfless devotion to this forum, attracted several new users who naively and frivolously conferred reputation on your cartoons

^^^ Pozzed AND liked this post.

This is ridiculous. I've created an offshoot forum where you can only rep. Those dissatisfied with the preposterous preeminence of likes in this forum, follow me here:

1. Impérialiste :
   Yes, my "suicidal" post was a mere poetic expression of personal idiosyncrasies related to drug use in professional wrestling that captured the ontological essence of my perpetual nihilism that has been induced by my ethical, moral, social, and intellectual failures!
