Funny-- Helpful--??? What is the purpose of this?

I believe most people here are using it to ridicule someone`s post. Rarely I see it is supposed to be used as: " what you wrote is funny" jajajaja, I am enjoying it.......... NOT jejeje your are an idiot! I don`t agree with you. The same with helpful, more like being sarcastic!. I don`t Peter meant to do this.

What do ya think?

I know what you mean Lisa. Sometimes I'll try to post something serious, and someone will mark it funny.

It used to be worse though, because it was possible for one person to put more than 20 funnys or helpfuls. I told Peter about how I was able to do it, and he had it fixed in a couple of hours. Now you rarely see more than 2 funnys or helpfuls.

By the way, I just marked your last post as helpful!

Yes, it is a way to sarcastically grade some peoples non sense post just to get their count up or to be seen on a forum/home that they have that one of a kind special utopia life. I think Peter needs to add another one that says "helpful NOT!" LZ, there are more than a couple of people on pbh

Well, I am forced to be indoors, so I can spend some time reading here PBH, when it should be a gorgeous day, it is hot and dry and I am surrounded by fires, it is 2:20 and it is dark with an orange sun, smoky and thick air, breathing probably burnt plastic from many homes burning here in Los Angeles

Feliz Navidad!

Sounds miserable. I hope you're far enough from the fires to be out of danger!

Mongo I just marked your last post as funny to prove to myself that funny can indeed go past 2. I was beginning to suspect peter had fixed it on the cheap

Thanks Portena, it looks surreal, now it is like snowing, ashes are falling!, it is weird! I am very far from the danger, but I can smell it and see the horrible air, I feel for the people loosing their homes, not just rich homes, but I see in the news, lots of mobile homes also.

Feliz Navidad!

I can see the thick smoke from OC. The sun looked orange from the smoke.

My aunt is Corona near the Green River drive exit. The roads are closed so it is hard to get to her. She said she is fine.

goin_south says on Nov 15, 2008, 20:01:

This has to be the most ridiculous thread I've ever read on pbh... mostly because Lisa Zee wears her feelings on her sleeve..... (Lisa , do you wear long sleeves??)....

...made obvious by her long-standing feud with the notorious poster:
.....................UTOPIACOWBOY.

(I, like he, thinks she only always WISHED he was chasing her. . . jejej)

She (Liza Zee) is a colombiana long lost in America (north! of course).

Why Not Colombia?..........Stay Tuned, for more.... utterly worthless, self-indulgent gobbets of nonsense.

Lisa Zee says on Nov 15, 2008, 22:25:

going south, wtf are you talking about???????? I have no idea who the notorious poster is? are you hallucinating???
If you are so bored, play cards, read a book, play with y..........or something!

Feliz Navidad!

Thanks Lusifer, I have no problem with anybody here, I don`t post much anymore. Today I am in, because of the fires.

Feliz Navidad!

Aaron21 says on Nov 15, 2008, 22:47:

Don't get crazy here LZ but you don't post here anymore, you don't care what people say, and you know who your stalkers are. You created this thread to complain about people laughing at you and then posted here over and over again about various things. It seems you do care what people say and you do post - a lot. Just my observation - keep your fire hat on!

Lisa Zee says on Nov 15, 2008, 22:59:

I am not saying it bothers me, but when I read and I can`t believe how it is used on other posters, I have been wondering why people do this.
Now I have stalkers?!,......... LOL.... jajajaja!

Feliz Navidad!

Lisa Zee.. i am not stalking you, but I do wish you would post more, since i have read some of your past comments and think you have a lot to offer.....

and we hope you are safe from the fires, Lisazee.
Better keep your wet tshirt on ;-)
......." what you wrote is funny" jajajaja, I am enjoying it.......... NOT jejeje your are an idiot! I don`t agree with you. The same with helpful, more like being sarcastic!.".....
Why are you thinking the worst of the posters here?
Is it a reflection?
If you accidently marked something as funny or helpful (Lord, help us), then you can click on the 'x' after the fact, and take your 'rating' back.
That was a little mean of gsouth; but why did you come back con attack, telling him/her to go play with himsouth?

And, lastly: WHAT HAS THIS TO DO WITH COLOMBIA? Shouldn't it have been posted in Do Your Own Thing?

Ah.. be good to Lisa Zee.... She has the fire going on.. she's stuck inside, and got a little curious about the damned Funny/Helpful thing....I have been wondering the same thing myself...Funny is pretty self explanatory.. The buttons should be changed to bullshit and helpful...That way, it would save me time from writing, as a comment that the poster or commentator is full of bull shit...

dwmte7 says on Nov 16, 2008, 05:20:

yo, lisa.....i can remember when i had my office at berkeley and wilshire (SM) i could always watch the fires racing seaward driven by the santa anas...what a tragedy. the palisades would be alight and, of course, malibu would be 'up in smoke'. how many years did that go on. every year it's the same. the fires move about, as the 'fuel' inventories change. one year it's in the canyons (topanga) and the others it's on the ridges above the palisades and even as far north as corral. don't envy you a bit...stay safe and 'this, too, shall pass'.

as for the family stalkers....what can you say...they have nothing better to do. don't take it to heart. they have no clue that you know more about what they SHOULD know a little about than they will ever imagine. "you can lead a horse to water.................." the pbh family is full of fancy and fanciful posters. let em be. don't take it to heart. i know who you are and am abreast of much of your knowledge and respectful of both.

Lisa Zee
I lived in Northridge as a young adult years ago and the fires were bad then. I feel for you having this happen so often. Please take care and keep windows shut.
