Look- I think tempers get hot enough here, without allowing people to pile on with the recs. I rarely notice the recs, and almost always forget to use the feature, but if it makes a poster here uncomfortable, that's not a good thing. I've banned a lot of right wingers- and Steve is really not one of them. Goodness knows, I disagree with him on a lot of things, but he is NOT right wing. Heck, I was told my ideas were right wing last week. What's the world coming to? When I lived in Orange county I was called a communist (and had pretty much the same views I have today) and now I find out my ideas are right wing.

We don't need recommendations to make us more polarized than we are. There were a LOT of people who were against adding the rec feature- and they were right. I'm sure some of them can speak up, if they want to. It turns out you can't make everyone happy no matter what you do. I made a lot of people unhappy when I turned recs on, and now you're unhappy that it goes off. C'est la Vie.
