Popularity Thing is all Wrong! Please try to follow this closely.  The popularity number is based on the number of hits on your profile. As the profile hits go up, your popularity number goes down meaning that your popularity has gone up.   If someone posts a rude, inflammatory or insulting comment many of us will think" who is this idiot?"  and click on their profile. This will cause their profile count to go up which causes the popularity count to go down which means their popularity is up.    Theoretically, this means that over time the least popular person on the site could become, (numerically), the most popular.   To avoid this gross injustice, I propose the addition of a Who is this Idiot? Button to bring up an offenders profile. Aside from bringing up the profile, this button would subtract two hits from the profile count and if you have been following, you know the rest. . Before searching frantically for the Who is this Idiot? button, please note that this was originally posted under Humor and Fun.

    Actually, the popularity ranking seems to be based on friends count. At least in the search function, sorting by popularity results in a strict ordering by that number.
