'...but being overly nice gives me a little bit of cult vibe at points.' LOL
I get what you're saying, I have to admit, it occurred to me on some occasion to be overly nice on posts where the authors upvote is worth more then what I make in in writing 20 posts...
That being said, it is too bad that people rely on that sometimes (myself included) and that is why I always try to comment something constructive while doing that ... ;)
