1. Sometimes I don't rec things because I know people use it as a tool

to call out others.

[darkangel218]

2. Do you pay attention how cute kittehs are?

[Algernon Moncrieff]

4. Absolutely not!

[djean111]

3. I sometimes rec threads because I agree, and sometimes rec threads because I disagree

or hate them, but feel they need to be read and responded to. So a list of threads I rec'd does not give much information on how i feel.

10. +1 nt

[stevenleser]

5. I definitely pay attention when the OP is either extremely bad/crazy or extremely good.

When it's somewhere in between, not so much.

[femmocrat]

6. Sometimes.

I usually look out of curiosity to see who rec'd mine.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

7. I do that too

You tend to find other poster's whose posts you enjoy, and it's nice to know who's reading.

[bigwillq]

8. No (nt)

[rbrnmw]

9. I look when the post is highly racist or sexist

I have also looked when it appears that the OP is based on well known RW talking points.

[Sheepshank]

13. yeah...I tend to do that too

[demmiblue]

15. I tend to do this also, out of sheer curiosity! n/t

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. Not really, unless it is a really controversial topic

That said, its like "Like" - some may use it for exposure for really egregious news items. I've done that myself just so more people may see what asshole-du-jour said/did on the Sunday morning Egofest...

12. Sometimes, depends on what the thread is about. nt

[etherealtruth]

14. Sometimes

.... and sometimes

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

16. Only when it's a really stupid OP or obvious CT.

Then I like to pull up the list to see just who is either that gullible or complicit. (Or possibly even sockpuppeting.)

[Algernon Moncrieff]

17. Please forgive my ignorance: "obvious CT"??

I'm going to feel like an idiot when you tell me what it means, but it's not coming to me at this moment.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

18. conspiracy theory.

Sorry, we live in a world of acronyms

[Algernon Moncrieff]

19. Thank you!

...and yes, I feel like an idiot.

[OnyxCollie]

20. Rec the wrong thread

and wind up on the Terrorist Watchlist.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

22. I know

Perhaps the rec list could include terror watch threat color coding.

[Hatchling]

23. Or Worship the wrong Goddess. nt

[Hatchling]

21. Only when the thread is a dubious one.

do I feel the need.

Bonus: No.
