Seriously, I'm very surprised at the strong feelings associated with the new labels of "top contributor". It seems as though some people are so resentful, that they will not choose a top contributor's answer, even if it's the best one. Is my perception legitimate? I am really interested in hearing all of your responses. I find the whole situation somewhat intriguing. Besides being sick of the whole issue regarding "TC", what are your feelings?

It is rather embarrassing, really. It tells me I am here too often. In fact I should be erecting rectangles of data right now in preparation for distribution; but, here i sit with this big orange badge hunting and pecking.

I don't get it at all! First of all, I only spend about an hour a day on Q&A so I don't keep up with all the rumblings. What is everyone so upset about? My gosh, this isn't a job or a competition. It's a place to go and ask/answer questions, share your experiences and hopefully help someone. I think it's awfully childish that people are upset by anything on here really. I am not here to compete with anyone or to impress anyone. I am disabled so it helps me to communicate with people and get peoples opinions and points of view. I like to see what people are thinking. I also like being able to help people through the things I've learned. I'll gladly give this badge to whoever wants it because I don't care one way or the other.

Depends solely on the quality of the answer. I don't like labels of any kind and will not allow them to cloud my judgment.

It's a pretty button.. but.. I could care less. It just points out how much you're on more than say.. the regular answerer..

Dunno. People have been resenting anyone and everyone whom they feel are elite/superior since...well, forever. That's why there've been so many Revolutions, with a capital "R." Just ignore the fuss - some people will kick up a scuffle over anything.

i dont really like the badge lol. it annoys me and orange is not my color. but WOW is people really like that? hmm maybe in some cases it does but maybe in other cases the badge could make the answerer more noticeable.

Yes. I already avoided giving them "best answer" three times today. We all like the underdog. Would you give money to Bill Gates or Michael Jordan?

No, in fact, I don't even look at that...
