I no understand. You does help? :/

Certain answers are outright satire, meant to highlight the irrationality of certain declarations and the double-standard of how people view blacklist versus whitelist, even though both solely act as filters.
Primarily, however, this thread is meant to give a well-earned laugh to the users who've had to put up with a regular output of this sort of material, and many answers were chosen just for that effect.
( Just think, I could have included a "No reason"? Seriously??? You are a giver of the highest order. Welcome to whitelists everywhere...' option. :'D )
.
I apologize to anyone who finds this thread more annoying than amusing.
..unless you're one of the silly individuals whom have me whitelisted. You were asking for this, then. ~(°ヮ°~)

I keep being whitelisted without reason. What do you all think of that? :/

Yeah, that line was brilliant in the original context, and didn't suffer at all for the joke rewrite. :)

Ah well...

This is particularly funny to me, because apparently you are in my whitelist as well. While on the other hand I'm on your blacklist.
It must have been one weird interaction. :D

There's a bug- no clue if it's just affecting me or not- that occasionally swaps whitelist and blacklist settings on users. so far, only seen it happen like three times, but..

http://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/Yg64dkf < You were on my whitelist, so the bug is probable.

http://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/SNKVwTL < You got list-swapped 5 minutes after this. I'd gone to bed an hour before that comment. Ergo, highly unlikely I had intentionally done it,

With that pretty solid proof in mind, going to go ahead and intentionally list-swap you this time. :'P

I warn you! You are already whitelisted! If you don't stop with this kind of drama, I will invite you to my special group! Actually, it is only by oversight you are not there yet, given your behaviour!

Always people going around complaining that they were whitelisted for no reason, as if folks are really that random and unfair. For some reason there are never people taking any responsibility for their actions or situation and going around making any topics saying 'I was whitelisted for being AWESOME'...

Look, all I'm saying is, if people have the right to control other people's blacklists, I should have to right to stop you all from being so goshdarned nice to me!

I should have that right anyway, though.
Because you all suck at being sucky, and that's not on me!
