“However I did not know that you could be bought with flattery.”
lol. I didn’t mean it that way at all. By the way, that whole thing was meant half-jokingly in any case. I didn’t really think you’d be offended.
I was referring to the comments on the post about point inflation. Someone made the comment that he is never sure if the points mean agreement, thanks, or a compliment. It occurred to me as I read it that that is why I do not think it is offensive to sometimes give +1,000 and sometimes give +1. I had never really analyzed that much before, but when I read that thread, it occurred to me that that is the difference between +1 and +1,000 and the reason no one should be offended.
They simply mean different things. +1 means agreement, and +1,000 is a compliment (or thanks). Maybe I am wrong and that is not how I have used the terms in the past. I don’t really remember. But when I read that post, that’s what I thought. And it seemed like a good idea to use them that way.
