There were NO troublemakers!
If I decide to give a thread 1 star, that is my perogative. My criteria for a useful thread IS going to be different than others. That does NOT make me a troublemaker. If 5 other people who share similar criteria to mine also rate a thread, is that now making trouble?
Continuing to state a falsehood is a good way to fool uninformed people, but it will NOT fool somebody who is informed.
