That is why I am a bit stingy with brohoofs, nothing against people that are generous with them but for me I like to save them for what I think are the best posts.

The Brohoof system is entirely pointless thanks to the forum games.

Forgive my ignorance, but what the heck are these 'forum games' that you speak of? 

I'm quite brohoof-happy, and have gotten a message or two from people in the debate forums after I brohoofed every single one of their posts in a certain thread (this happened to Steel Accord, for one). I brohoof when I believe that a person made a well-stated point. I'm more partial to brohoofing posts which I agree with, of course, but I also like to brohoof the posts of somebody I'm civilly disagreeing with as a sign of goodwill and thanks for their collected attitude.

On the other hoof, I don't tend to brohoof posts that have an abrasive tone, even if I agree with their essential message.

I don't know why, but I feel that this blog post is directed towards me.

I myself only brohoof something if either I myself couldn't have said it better

Brohoofed this post because I couldn't have said anything you said any better.

In fact, this whole forum will render one of my talents redundant and pointless.

There's a whole subsection of Cloudsdale Colosseum that I'm surprised you haven't checked out yet.

No! I would never directly accuse anypony of wrongdoing in anything I write. Well, not unless they were guilty of high treason and I was the only person who could prove it, but those are some pretty extreme extenuating circumstances. Many ponies around this site, including myself, are guilty of doing this. I wrote this post only to help ponies out, not to hurt anypony. I deeply apologize if I have offended you in any way, as that was not my intent.

No you didn't offend me That comment I made was actually a joke because I tend to brohoof lot of posts

People make too big of a deal of brohoofs, honestly. They don't mean or do anything. Really, all they are are bragging rights. Especially with the obnoxious green counter on members profiles.  I get they're a nice thing and an incentive of posting, and getting one is nice, but it doesn't need to be publicly displayed. It's just a number. Just like post count. Means nothing really.

In short they're just a silly statistic that doesn't really do anything.
