Not to offend any AB members, but I am amazed at how important the points and levels are to so many. I have yet to figure out what difference the points or levels makes in the question or answers? Well, maybe it's just me, but I don't understand it.

- I wish I could give you more points.

- Blessed, I wouldn't think any different of your comment with more or no points. Thank you, Have a great day!

Hi, Blessed, are you aware of a user doing that? I would go over there and congratulate. I was happy when people threw a party for me for the same reason.

- I've seen too many of the type who are rude to others, and then have to throw their own party when they level up.

- There is a difference between having one thrown for you and having to throw one for yourself because you have no friends to throw one, isn't there?

  My belated congratulations to your Sage status! I went to your profile and peeked at your answerbag. All Sages should have a "Sage"-Party one time, a good one!

- I'd say more thought provoking than sympathetic, as in, if you want to have friends and attention, you have to first be a friend.

- You are right, Blessed, but my brain has to go in reverse first to detect negativity in a question from a positive thinking friend

- I think it's more than 'being rude'. ABers also interact with each other, as in this case, which is how you get friends who are kind enough to notice your advancing levels! Yes, one can ask questions, answer questions, and moderate to get points, but does that make AB friends?

- Whitehair, I think it comes with being a COAT. I get directed to the seamy underside of this site whenever someone needs help. I'm also constantly on the lookout for those that need help. That means I get made very aware that not everyone on this site is as kind and positive as you are. There are more than a few who make a sport out of insulting and harming others. It is the weariness of Lenny Briscoe.

- I totally understand, Blessed, and I thanks you in the name of so many here for the work you and other high ranking AB'ers do behind the curtains for the good for all of us!

...my answer may surprise you. I learned quite awhile back, if something is important to you (like getting a birthday card...a party...a valentine, whatever) then instead of not saying anything & being depressed or upset about it...tell someone what you want & need...those that love you & care want you to be happy...so, if turning "sage" is significant to you...throwing a party is a great way to celebrate & keep yourself happy...because you are right...some don't notice points or status...but others do...there are zillions of reasons people are here on AB...so, this is just another viewpoint...one of the reasons I like AB. You are great, Blessed...& being a COAT makes AB a happier place to be...hey! We should throw a COATS party!!!!

- There is some wisdom to what you say. My own particular beef was with someone who tends to be rude to others.

- ...oh, I didn't realize that Blessed. I can't STAND IT when people are rude...that is probaly why the person had to throw their own party...because no one wanted to throw one for them...hopefully many people don't show up!...lol....now THAT was rude of me to say...lol....but I think you get my drift...

I would never do that for myself ... but some people just like to announce things like that. If it's important to them ... I say go for it. Unfortunately, people don't always catch things like that for others.

No. When they reach that level, why shouldn't they get the points from their own party?
Comments
- Because it isn't all about points.

- Yeah, points are just a peripheral part of the AB experience.

  by ExactlyTwentyLetters on October 24th, 2009
- So are the levels, aren't they? I'm not here for the points, or the levels. I just like the social.
  - Report
  by AnnieB on October 24th, 2009
- Exactly. I don't know why they bother having points and levels. The value is in the opportunity to help others and in the discourse and opportunity to talk to others.

Yes, but only if one takes those thing seriously. I
don't. I didn't notice when I became "sage", and when
by accident I happened to notice that I had reached
that level, it made no difference whatever.
Comments
- Same here. I don't want the attention and purposefully asked all my friends NOT to throw a party for any of my level advancements. I find it sad when someone both needs the attention and has no friends to notice.
