Hello moderator brightobject. My name is DrReuniclus. I may not be a very influential firebotter, however I was highly motivated to discuss the potential deletion of these quotations from the quote database. I feel as if it is my duty to defend these people and their right to post what they feel is comical, whether they are doing it for the goodnatured humor, an attempt to be memelords, or an increase in their like count. As someone who has made many flopped jokes in the past, I believe allowing people to leave their not as well done / community thinks they are unfunny posts up is important for the education of these posters as it increases their knowledge on what the community did not like as much about their quotations and will be memorable at least to them and their experiences posting. It leaves a mark of what either to do or not to do to get a response out of the community and I believe that leaving these quotations up will make all of the posters create better posts in the future or at least look over their posts and think about what they are going to say before they leave it there in front of the community, especially with the dreaded 0 likes post potential looming over their head.

As a man who values every like that he has been given on this site, I also believe it would be unfair for you to take away the likes these people have rightfully earned from their posts and, while it may be few to you, these likes can mean a lot to people. I was so happy when I received my first likes and still enjoy receiving likes to this day. I harshly condemn taking likes people have earned from their posting no matter how small because in the end, every like you receive from a post gives you a little bit of joy inside and brightens up your day, no matter how many or how few, its just nice to be liked. Please forgive these people for their posts and allow them to stay as they will learn from their mistakes of these posts and will proceed to make much better posts in the future. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and I hope this makes you think on your decision. Have a good day/night.
