I've made comment on the quotes that ConfuseUs dude posts <div style='display:block;width:250px;text-overflow:clip;overflow:hidden;word-wrap:break-word;'><a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://www.plime.com/l/134295/2/#q10" rel="nofollow">http://www.plime.com/l/134295/2/#q10</a></div>  and how damn s**tty it is that the guy get's voted down for it all the time. Also, didn't some dude get thrown off the site recently for making an edit to someone's comment and it's happened here to confusUs and no moderators have said anything about it <br/><br/>My last post here was about the nazi-like attitude of some people (some of y'all are great :))here. It's off putting when you see your posts being voted down for no good reason which is why I've thrown it out there before when it's happened to me. For a n00b, it sucks to see your comments constantly voted down. <br/><br/>if you guys want to see the site grow to reddit, digg proportions and all the new members, fresh ideas and opinions and posts that that brings then you really should do something about people here that seem to think they run the show. Otherwise people like me will keep leaving and that'd be a shame for a site that *could* be a good thing, not just for the select few but on a bigger scale and for all involved.<br/><br/><br/>Anyway this took me forever to type and it's just my 2cents. <br/><br/>*I edited this to add*<br/><br/>Y'all know this &quot;news&quot; is from 2007 right?]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[drogue @ 10/20/2009 5:32:41 AM]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/l/134870/1/rss0_91.rss#q26</link><description><![CDATA[<div class='qp pad d'><a class="page-dull td" href="/l/134870/2/#q3"><b>&laquo;</b></a>&nbsp;<i><b>Jerry520</b>&#160;:&#160;Can we focus on the subject of the article now, please?</i></div>Yes.
