is this some kind of satire or are you actually a cunt?

stopping a democracy of people expressing their opinion, very right on.

Admittedly two wrongs don't make a right, but where was all this disapproval when the polls on here were flooded/rigged?

Adding to that democracy by expressing an alternate opinion. Yup, pretty right on I'd say.

How is it rigging anyway? You have to have an account and have watched it to vote. I presume people will be giving their honest opinions? I know I didn't run over there and stick a 1 on it just for the hell of it. I gave it a 3, as that's what I thought it was worth.

Nobody would object if somebody urged people to raise a show's rating would they?

Ah, forget it, Mike - some people will never work that one out. It's written in Hebrew on the head of a fucking pin.

Well, if it was crap yes they would.

If someone tried to raise a rating, nobody would really care, even if they hated the show - it would probably be seen as perfectly sporting, an acceptable way of promoting a show you love etc. Trying to get a rating lowered, however, is seen as the behaviour of cunts. I don't know why that is.

if someone started a thread on here saying "hey everybody, lets get the rating for nathan barley on lovefilme raised as high as possible" we would see how wrong you were.

Well I reckon you're a homo.

So why not look at it as a fresh, clean opportunity to see what people who've seen it actually thought of it? No-one was going to be rigging that poll until you came along, and it would've been made up of people who didn't have comedy cognoscenti wankers whispering "it's shit, it's shit" at them months before it was shown.

Perhaps a filter which prevented anyone from making any new threads with the words 'Nathan Barley' in the title might be a good idea.

Indeed, and why not look at the idea living in trees as a fresh clean opportunity to experience the alternative to walking around upright on two legs. But let the people who've chosen evolution have their say too, eh?

Yes, those pesky people and their 'other opinions', coming along and spoiling everything.

Oh balls. Evolution? What, we had our poll rigged so lets go and do it to someone else? Sounds like someone didn't want Barley getting an untampered positive response from the non CaB public- maybe it wasn't all that bad after all, eh?

But... but.... it was relatively bad.  The people giving it good scores on that site will, let's face it, most likely be unquestioning, unthinking GodLikeGenius Morris Drones, as almost no-one else actually watched the bloody thing.  I think this thread idea is pointless, yes, but not really unreasonable.  Anyone voting from this site will be giving their true opinion.  So what's the problem?

Emergency Lalla Ward Ten

But you talk about the NB-likers as innocent people who hitherto enjoyed a comedy show, only to have their enjoyment spoiled by people saying 'It's shit, it's shit'. Surely that's just a case of people changing their mind on the basis of hearing other arguments?

Has anyone even done it? I know I did rate it and I hadn't before (mainly 'cos I'd not looked at the DVD on Lovefilm at all), but I was only giving my opinion. I doubt there were many who gave a 1 vote without good reason.
