Just a note - don't take Jack's advice to not self-censor too literally. There is much weirdness in you, and even the borders of this place would groan under its weight.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I didn't upvote or downvote any of these. But I think the result would be the same if you had said "ice cream": the point is that it's a completely random comment that has nothing to do with the rationality discussion and distracts from the flow. I don't think that there's anything wrong with randomness or silliness but interrupting a rationality conversation with completely unrelated comments could get annoying.

ok, that makes sense.

thanks for the feedback

hugs :)

oh, and, um... please downvote this comment if hugs or other public displays of affection are considered inappropriate for LW.

or please upvote this comment if public displays of affection are considered appropriate, if they're tasteful and not too distracting.

Despite the negative status of this poll, a quick "Thanks hugs :)" is perfectly appropriate for LW.

hehe, so... 16 downvotes... is that a new record? :)

(I'm guessing a >50% probability that it's not...)

If I consider this as an achievement to be proud of, does that make me a troll?

Doing polls for this kind of thing, while somewhat interesting in a meta sense (I definitely like to see discussion about the social norms here), is rather off-topic. It would be less disruptive if you were to start by sticking to the already established norms (which can be learned by observing, and which you can ask me or Alicorn or Blueberry about via IM if you have questions), and occasionally break from the norms to test how other habits of yours are received.
