Nobody Likes Me, Everybody Hates Me, Guess I'll Go Eat Worms...

For any of you who might know this nursery rhyme, I think it can relate to our class.

Each week I know that I look at my posts to see which ones might have enticed people to bite at the content and which ones were duds. While I know that Scott and Cole have expressed the fact that the number of votes on a post doesn't determine the grade, I still think it has implications for the individual's identity and status in our online community (and potentially our classroom community). (BTW - Is our classroom community different from our online community?) When I have a post on which no one comments or votes, I wonder why no one wants to talk about the things about which I would like to talk. After all, they seem important to me. It kind of feels like that post has been out-casted and, by default maybe the author has, too. Curiosity about others' feelings has enticed me to post this idea. What does it feel like when people don't respond to your posts on the Pligg site?
