I already gave you an example. CG already stated that he sees nothing wrong with rating low a happy birthday thread simply because he doesn't like the person. CG doesn't dislike all of them; just some of them for personal reasons. So some people deserve a higher rating for threads wishing them a HB than others do?? dhammer53 stated that wishing happiness for others on their birthdays fosters community growth. How do you give that a negative rating without it being personal. As if that makes sense!

I thanked him for that clear cut example. ^

This whole thread right here gives enough information about why ratings are bad. From supporters, I read that they are annoyed by those of us who dislike this feature for we clearly live in a "victim" society. This looks like a justification of being rude. Some of you have been banned for breaking the TOS which shows just how rude some of the posts were. Why not stop TOS violations because by preserving a TOS, we are preserving a "victim" society where the obnoxious writer gets banned for a period of time.

Randy can see for himself the disrespect some of you have toward those who are against thread rating. You mock them for advocating a victim status. Keep it up. Your slip is showing.... I hope this thread keeps on growing and growing and growing. ^
