Have you ever thought that the members who had their threads rated low simply started terrible threads? Maybe their was no "group in concert", Maybe there was simply a diverse group who did not care for idiotic threads?
Read above. They weren't idiotic threads. They were birthday threads and very informative threads.
They were every single thread started by certain users in forums which had no other ratings.
THEY didn't get their cyberfeelings hurt

- however, it was noticed by others, myself included.
No one has said a word about idiotic, useless threads started by people. The issue is and always has been that only certain people had their very non-offensive threads single starred by a group of people. In the case of birthday threads - they weren't even started by that person.
