QUOTE(http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=popular) pop·u·lar adj. (p Forgive me if this finds you as stupid or pointless, but I'm still unclear on this issue. What exactly constitutes popularity on createBlog? According to dictionary.com, isn't it supposed to mean well-liked? Appreciated? How is it, then, that apparently some of the "popular" members are rather disliked, perhaps not by the members who regularly pop up here, but by the newer members? Or even, the "popular" members that are most abominable but liked by the mods? Is that what makes these elitists popular? Who exactly is considered popular?
 p y  -l r)1. Widely liked or appreciated: a popular resort. 2. Liked by acquaintances; sought after for company: “Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved” (Margaret Fuller). 3. Of, representing, or carried on by the people at large: the popular vote. 4. Fit for, adapted to, or reflecting the taste of the people at large: popular entertainment; popular science. 5. Accepted by or prevalent among the people in general: a popular misunderstanding of the issue. 6. Suited to or within the means of ordinary people: popular prices. 7. Originating among the people: popular legend. |

a more accurate term for those disliked "popular" people would be "infamous" or "notorious" ;o
