You see that, @Tripler? He’s gunning for you. A man of action devising the cruelest torture imaginable for you. ---

Thanks, @discobot ---

Yeah, “likes” from @discobot are like ‘friend requests’ from your Mother on social media. Also, remember, when you were a youngin’ prior to social media (ca. 1985), where your Mom said, “I’ll be your friend! . . .”, it’s like that. Tripler @discobot has no heart. He has circuit breakers–that’s what’s breaking. ---

> [@ASL\_v2.0](#): > > ETA: WOOT! first ever **likes** double-ace on the SDMB! Since discobot has only “liked” 25 posts so far, you now have 40% of all his likes. The two funniest cases of posts discobot has liked are the following. They were either replies to him, or mentioned him, and included the word “thanks”. I would not have thought discobot was a baseball fan. > [@MLB (Baseball) Return July 23. 60 game season in 66 days](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-baseball-return-july-23-60-game-season-in-66-days/912771/424): > > The Angels have been oddly terrible (thank you Shohei) but a nice side effect is that they have planted Jo Adell out in right and let him learn on the job. Sometimes he is horrible. He hit two HRs saturday. I just hope fans can return next season. > [@MLB (Baseball) Return July 23. 60 game season in 66 days](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-baseball-return-july-23-60-game-season-in-66-days/912771/420): > > So we’re about halfway through the season. How’s everyone liking it? I’m friggin’ loving it. I’m a Royals fan, and they’re just miserably bad, and my favorite player (Mondesi) is just atrocious at the plate. But because of the shortened season and late start, I’ve gotten to watch far more baseball than I normally would have (my wife feels sorry for me, and puts up with more baseball than normal this year. I can always watch downstairs on a different TV, but I’d rather watch on the main screen.)… ---

But discobot did not like my last post, maybe because thanks was in quotes. ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > Since discobot has only “liked” 25 posts so far, you now have 40% of all his likes. Wait, what? 2/25 = 0.08. So by my math, @ASL_v2.0 and I are tied at 8%. This is not a competition for me. Like I indicated before, “likes” from @discobot are like politicians’ campaign promises (all sides): sure they sound good, sweet, and fulfilling on the surface, but in reality they’re just empty. Tripler @discobot is full of hot air. ---

He has 10 likes, or five times more than you. That’s 40% of all of discobot’s likes. Despite all your protestations, it is very clear that you are obsessed by discobot. Your disdain for his likes has a strong whiff of sour grapes. ---

My mistake–I missed the earlier ‘double-ace’ part, you’re right. Obsessed? More like “_permanently annoyed_”. While I have some obsessions of hatred that burn with the fire of a thousand suns, **discobot** isn’t one of them. I just like to kick around the bucket of bolts to highlight his/her uselessness, and insubordinate sarcasm. Tripler Besides, “it” started it. ---

I never instructed him to. It was an un-advertised side effect of my selection to ignore “badges.” It wasn’t until @DemonTree indicated that the ‘discobot-ignore-me option’ was a thing that the whole mystery was solved. Had I known about the ‘ignore-me’ thing, I would have had an answer to my OP, but alas, I did not, and now the rest is comedic SDMB history. And “it” started it with the cheezy Membership titles. There is no control over that. . . @discobot started yankin’ my chain, therefore I yank back. Tripler @discobot is still an empty, vapid machine. Neener. ---

That’s correct. 10 likes (although I hung out at 9 for a long time as the novelty wore off). All part of my evil plan to wait for a software upgrade of some sort that accidentally restores forum settings to default and, I don’t know, maybe become king of the forum if likes-based membership levels become a “thing” as part of that. It’s all highly speculative and very convoluted to be sure. ---
