No way. The "self help" industry is not full of correct but obvious advice. Lots of it is wrong and harmful advice. Including most books about dieting or parent

- yters 19y agoHehe, I upmodded you! Take that!
- curi 19y agoI expected no less :) I'd upmod you if I could vote.
- yters 19y agoWhat was the deal with that thread? First, there was that string of downmods, then suddenly the whole thing goes dead and you also lose your voting privilege. I had thought the whole thing was in jest, including the rampant downmodding, but apparently people were taking it seriously. But why? Did it seem like we were actually fighting?
- curi 19y agoNo one bothered to tell me why I can't vote now -- i just had to notice that when i refresh the page the number goes back down 1 -- but my guess is that it's the same reason as rms: upmodding. I kinda upmodded your entire comment history. But i read it first and liked them all, so I don't see the problem... I thought that thread was all in good fun between us, but wasn't sure why people were downmodding it. Don't know why it went dead either. But it might have been dead for a while and we didn't notice -- maybe it only tells you your thread is dead when it's old. Better threads than that have been turned dead. Meh. PS did you get the email asking for your AIM account? then we could speculate about why pg kills threads and bans users from voting where pg won't read it and possibly get annoyed and possibly mark it dead too.
- yters 19y agoI thought someone was upmodding my comment history. Well, once enough people read that, my comment history will be downmodded a couple times, so I guess it works out in the end.
- curi 19y agoI think the points were taken away, anyway.
