If I were to use the thread rating feature (I don't think I'd use it much anyway, if at all), I would give those threads a positive rating.

Why should I give the thread a negative rating, just because it was poster F or poster S who posted it?
I thought I had tried to explain that above. The discussion had been causing me to do some thinking about this, though (at least until your next point).

(Also, as a sidenote, if you admit that there are posters whose posts you don't think much of in general, and that causes you to treat their posts differently, are you sure that is a good prerequisite for being impartial (which in one of your roles would be a good idea, I think))?
This was an interesting discussion from which I was learning -- until you decided publicly to impugn my integrity.
