Mylot, Republicans, ratings and earnings - bias?

Netsbridge claims;
Mylot is sponsored by die-hard republicans and they are always (even here on Mylot) attempting to portray truth tellers as unreliable by giving negative "ratings"?
I do not think that anyone with even an average IQ is that stupid not to have figured out the relationship between telling the truth, "earnings" and "ratings" on Mylot!
Does anyone have any evidence to support this claim? Does anyone believe it?

If what you say is true urbandekay then I should be making millions..since I am a republican.
I don't think your political party has anything to do with your earnings here on mylot.
Please don't say this as it's not true!;)+

I don't know anything about the Republican connection of mylot. Also I am not sure if truth tellers are rated and paid low, but I have noticed some inteligent thinkers (you are one among them) are rated low. This has several times caught my attension. How could this happen?

Well, as someone once said, "Woe to you when all men like you."
But here is where Netsbridge makes his unsupported claim

I dont think that is true. I have no idea what are the political views of those who run MyLot and dont think that should be of any interest to me.
As about the ratings, I think MyLot has placed the (+) and (-) buttons besides each post. Some people who do not feel comfortable with certain posts, make use of these buttons and thus rate responses positive or negative. I think that is what causes some people loose their ratings, I happen to be one of those people:). So if somebody really cares for their ratings, they shoulr try posting what others are going to like. While I do not agree with this phenomena, this is how it works here and I have to live with it I guess.

Going through your remarks on another thread urbandekay, I thaught its necessary I clearify my position here.
I said "I dont think that is true." That means I have no means to verify Netbridge's claim. Since I can not verify it. I would like to believe that not true. But who knows if that is true. Really I do not know and honestly I do not care.
Hope that makes thing clear.

It sounds as silly as the theory that the Freemasons rule the world.

I didn't know about the Rebulican connection. But about the truth tellers part, well the ones who don't want to hear the truth or ignore the truth are probably the ones rating the truth tellers low.
Especially if you get involved in religion or politics. Many people here are very narrow minded. And if they don't like what you have to say, there goes your rating.
