By whom? Be specific, man. SMH.

I thought this person and that person needed a hug, so all this time, even when I felt it was a little overboard, I used the hug button, and tried to make the posters feel better. Who's being vague, hypocrite. Not everyone likes new features, without the same understandings, I'm getting judged for being a touchy feely creep. This ain't right.

I feel used, like I've been used for monkey 'reward circuit' brain test. Before you expect us to figure out your BS, I'm just counting my days/hours/minutes for what really counts, I've just lied, I don't really do that, I like seeing others do that though, like counting the days for Christmas, umm,,, go shop early, you think you're smart buying the gifts the way you do, you ain't. Just remembering sad story like the bought presents getting stolen and stuff, she'd be remembering that incident this year, behold and keep your eyes open, stop being naughty, let us circulate heartwarming story, eh? Adios amigos. .............................Time?

Thanks for the help, but that's not the point. We receive unwanted information everyday, what is that purple blob doing anyways? No one knows what's in it, umm,,,the gif connected with furry, bizarre fetish in my brain just now, that's just not human that I want to interact with, and the number of hugs given by me is represented the way it is, I can take it, this is a backhanded way of my criticism, so I was misunderstanding the numbers' representation, I wonder. They were not huggers, this is all a bit convoluted, of course the reason given in the first post about how I use the button is not the only way that I do push it, this makes me think a lot though, like Zuckerberg/FB and 'poke', is that where it started?

Master mind is somewhere out there, always thinking one step ahead of me, what's going on? haha.

Analogue meter vs Digital meters. I prefer analogue, it's scientific, this makes me feel like I'm one of those rocket boys currently working, taking us into space, with kids dream on their back, or someone sitting and working in a quaint little antique clock shop.

Prior to your knowledge, we need to draw the distinction between "analytic" and "synthetic" judgments. To attain a perfect self-reliance and independence, we must observe, and write.

If I had an option in the settings, I'd remove it on mine though, I'm always skeptic, no explanations given by the giveth, sorry, no offence intended by saying things I don't understand perfect-ly.

If I, if I go to Profile -> Statistics? I don't and I haven't live(d) my life like that on PC, thank you very much. I'm here for no charge, just buzzin, stats can just go splat, I don't care to measure statics in whatever scale we can think of.

i don't really get what you're asking..?

I tell you what YOU can do. You seemed right to be frustrated, the blog was poorly written, upper management characters can get things wrong too just like the rest of us, don't never back down from anyone, show 'em how it's done, and tell 'em to bring it, without apologizing after. You could've hold it back though, really, the apology part was a bit of let down on both sides, unleashed, raw sophiesmom, it was cool thing to witness to say the least.

Bullied kids might be looking up to someone like you who can stand up for themselves. We can't have enough good role models on this forum, the hug counter, I'm rather opposed to it? The stats may be useful for some, the counter is just overdoing it without paying much thought.

My last thought of the day is the epistemic understandings of impartiality rather than moral ones that could give us a heart attack.

Hugs, we're on the internet, we gather from all over the place on this blue terra, please be more considerate of Nigerians.

I am sorry. You lost me and I don't understand, either....

Am I inconsiderate of anybody?

What blog are you referring to?

Who did I apologize to?

Unfortunately, I'm struggling to understand your message, Takeshi.

If you're having issues with a member(s) please get in touch with a moderator via PM with the Community Support Team (such as myself) in an effort to find a solution.

The "hugs given" badge is merely a tally of the amount of hugs a member has given on Psych Central.

If I had an option in the settings, I'd remove it on mine though, I'm always skeptic, no explanations given by the giveth, sorry, no offence intended by saying things I don't understand perfect-ly.

This leads me to believe that your primary concern here is that the tally is there in the first place, for all to see. I can appreciate that. I don't "hug" people often, so I sometimes wonder if I look unfriendly or unsupportive as a result, but really, it's because I don't hug those I wouldn't actually hug in real life; I take these things a little too literally, sometimes.

I'd like to see a feature to disable the display of the "hugs given" badge as well. Unless there is one and I've missed it all these years. xD

The evil purple blob represents you hugging other members. Yes, if we hug here, we turn into a weird blob. People like that blob hugging them... *Shudders* (And laughs)

I agree the button pushing is often taken too far, it physically give people kicks to push buttons made of pixels on the screen.

I totally have an issue with so much public display of what I do online, like on every post you have to show how many times you hugged here. People like that. It makes them feel good. I feel bad about it. If I hugged someone I don't want that so visible. Therefore. I hug NO ONE. That is how I solved it.

Since you hugged almost 3000 times, it would take you tons of time to unhug people, but you can actually do it. I guess it would take at least a full day to accomplish. So good luck with that.

And I agree, it makes you look mega huggy to have that many hugs given from you. Tough luck.

The purple blob freaks me out.

I don't like that the hugs are counted. Imagine this worked like this in real life. You hug somebody and some number ups on you.

And no, having lower numbers on the purple blob does not make you unsupportive. It makes you are person, who does not click on random buttons on the internet so often for whatever reason.

Thanks, this made me think... Why do we need to chalk up our hugs??

I know I 'hug' a lot on here especially when words fail me, I do it IRL too, it's always sincere but thanks heavens no one keeps a tally IRL.

Some people don't trust those who give hugs, others don't trust people who don't. Some think the huggers are freaks, some think the non huggers are insensitive. Some feel they are better because they give hugs, some feel they are more real cause they don't. Humans are weird.....that's all I know.

[TishaBuv]

We all could over analyze the crap out of anything. I give a lot of hugs on here. Sometimes my heart goes out to people and i don't really have words to say, so i just hug. Sometimes i hug and comment. I wouldn't really just hug them physically that much IRL, but maybe in the right setting i would. It's just virtual, i'm not literally invading their space! And i like it when i get virtual hugs.

What if there is a counter of things we do? Like God keeps count...

[-jimi-]

I actually don't care if people hug or not. That is not the most important thing for me. Any way they choose tho show how they feel is OK.

But there is something about modern forums that really bug me, and I'm not saying this to criticize PC because a lot of forums are like that because many people like it. I'm just a backwards minority.

I like clean setups. Like it was in the "past". You had a username. And maybe an avatar. And you made a post. And that was that. It was the info given. The first forum I was on didn't even have avatars.

Different forums have different extra info. That shows up in every post. It can be gender and age. Location. Flag sometimes. Birthday. Join date. Posts posted. Reputation status. Motto. Membership status. Daily updates. Marriage status. Signature. Sometimes diagnosis. And so on. Every forum choose what is important enough to show over and over and over again.

For me.... nothing is that important. For me, post content is what matters. But like I said. I am backwards.

I just wonder what is so important about hugs that I need to know for every time someone posts, how huggy they are. It is a strange world. Or I'm a strange person. Depends on perspective I guess.

[avlady]

i really don't understand but i use the huggs button to let people know i've read their post, as sometimes i don't know how to reply.

[Nina Simone]

I don't understand why this is even an issue. Use it or don't it's whatever makes you happy. I personally think it's great you give a lot of hugs! How someone can be viewed as creepy for that is ridiculous. If my hugging you is an issue block me and keep it pushing. hahaha

Don't you worry, you was cool, seeing you biting someone's head off on one of old threads was a treat. Did I lose you? Perhaps that is true, someone forgot to page me. People on a rampage can sometimes set the tone of the scene, I'd say you was appropriately impolite or something, there's nothing wrong with that.

Consider this.

There are over 87,000 different drink combinations at Starbucks, according to the retailer’s website…

And people creates cups like these,





I'm sorry that I confused you too much.

There was never a question, but you get me. You deduced my posts as I thought someone just might. There are no issues just to be clear, if I were to add some more spices on the thoughts of yours, I'd say we need better coder(s).

It's simply a poor design or a wrong idea to put that number there, AS IF everybody understands the same, say a pinch of salt can be rubbed into an open wound or put into a meal to marry with other ingredients, as an enhancer of life. I can dish out virtual hugs as well as rat poisons if I wanted to, yes, my virtual hugs, I can be an angry porcupine, barbed wires electrified, or this thorny vines so bloody...

It took that many hugs to realize what the number represents, and now I'm virtually full of germs!

Cacti wouldn't worry about unhuggin, he's not wanted for hugs anyways.



Seriously though, this is not the first time someone thinking about giving/receiving virtual hugs, not all of us are yes men, a true man would think this is unfair to have no options to say no to getting hugs/thanks.
