I think there's a chart for the winners of this up voting system maybe that's why people want more votes.. So they can be in the lead... Whyyyyyyyyyyyy... Lololol 

I believe that you are right - in that there is a kind of tally of up votes. However, I'd be stunned if anybody on this site was rabidly shackled to it. I occasionally observe it, and suspect the same is the case for the majority. In fact, the emotion I tend to experience when seeing it, is one of regret ie that I have, once maybe, got a high number of up votes on computer site, when there's a whole world out there that needs exploring. However, that then leads on to feeling a sense of dichotomy, in that is my perceived outside world any better than this one I'm voluntarily within right now? 

The above said, I'll admit to liking an up vote, or an appreciative comment. I think that you'd have to have a very serious mental problem to take issue with receiving them. To not do so,  would have to equate with something like receiving an up vote makes you believe that a rat is eating one of your eye balls out, or some such. now, to determine what you say by how many up votes / down votes you perceive that you'll get, would be true madness. It does happen, because I've seen it - not on this site though. One of my brothers does it on Facebook. He is so politically correct as to be nauseating. Everybody around him 'knows' that he waters down his impact by adopting this stance. I know that some people have blocked him because they can simply take no more. I know this because they have told me so. I suppose the big question, for me, is who is the bigger fool.

I think I need to start taking my proper medication again. I haven't taken it properly for about a week now, which is a beyond stupid thing to do. Not taking it always sends me in to a rotten spin.

I believe, but don't know for sure, that there are significant areas of this site of which I haven't got a clue about. In addition to that, I don't always access a whole swathe of threads within those areas where I do confine myself. As for the chart - is it a chart, technically speaking? Not sure. It looks like a few different blocks with information within them to me. Is that a chart / are we even looking at / talking about the same thing? No need to answer that one, as I know the answer already - which is ' Who gives a fuck'!?  lol

Hello guy,

In the interests of sanity, I am now going to see if i can down vote your up vote on my own post, so as to neutralise it. Please don't take offence, as it's just an experiment that I'd never thought of before, but now that it's in my head, need to know the answer to. 

Wait for it, wait for it, here goes............

Oh bollocks, it can't be done. Ho hum!

Hello guy,

I reckon we are mates. I'm sure that we would be in real life, as well as on here. Anyway, my down voting 'project' was only theoretical, and, didn't pan out, anyway. However, I suspect that you know that already. Please feel free to down vote this post (and all of my posts). And that goes out to you all. If you made a concerted effort on this front, you could not only enable me to experience zero up votes again, but I could get in to the territory of 'serious' negative votes. When I say 'serious', I obviously am not  trying to imply that there is, or ever will be, gravity to the situation.

Hello Ommadawn,

I would say 'go on, go on do it' , and that it'll make you feel better. However, I 'only' kind of know you, and you 'kind' of know me. And, I suspect, that we could probably never down vote each other. I connected with you, as you well know, in trying to get a slot for ME to run with the Olympic Flame. That wasn't a success, unfortunately. However, if you were now to down vote this post it would mean a lot to me. All the best, my amigoe.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
