I just can't decide!

Being able to mark a best answer in AskMe is very useful. However, what are you supposed to do when you just can't decide which one is best?

Oh, thirteenkiller. You thirteen-slay me sometimes.

thirteenkiller is posting for someone else, who probably also decided which answers to mark as 'best.'

Oh no! We will have to read the entire thread! This is inhumane! We must summon the authorities.

well, it does make the feature useless.

Well, at least we know what his least favourite answer was.

Anyone who didn't see this MeTa thread coming, raise your hand.

Mmmm-hmmm.

The feature is pretty useless for non-technical questions, since the question asker just marks the answers he/she wants to hear anyway.

Another flame out is imminent. I wish they wouldn't shit on Ask in doing it though.

Why is everyone always picking on me? What did I do? I lurked here like forever and I tried to learn all the rules really well before I posted stuff and even then I was scared because of crap like this! It seems like there really is a cabal, maybe. You people should step back and take a look at this. Also I don't know what my sexuality has to do with anything, it should not be an issue here.

I wrote a haiku for you:

On the way out.
The door. Your ass. Together.
Hit. Don't let it hit.

You know what, Protocols, I think you need to stop the abuse. I know it's kinda your role to be a "troublemaker" but sometimes you go too far and it's not that funny.

I find all of this to be in quite bad taste.

Next on MeFi - more sockpuppet fun.

This shit is confusing, like the end of 2001. Can I go to bed now?

I just wanted to reward everyone who contributed advice to that askme; it's nice when people step up to help, and here I just get piled on and sexually harassed. A flame out, smackfu? You have some kinda problem with bi-sexuality?

Who are the suspected sockpuppets?
