Show Yourself
Who is the not-so-random thread rater who gives all of my threads one or two stars?
Rather actually engage in debate, you choose this cowardly tactic. Show yourself.

Sorry, couldn't resist
 I agree though, pretty lame to lurk and rate every thread someone starts. It has to be someoen who replies, correct?

I view it as a proof of causing someone to take action because what I've written. They can't help themselves.
In reality, it's a badge of success, take it as that. |

Rating a thread without posting a comment is like throwing rocks from behind a bush. Not terribly courageous.

There are watchers - witness without participation. They lurk, loom and wait without ever moving forward to be heard. Their soul is hollow and their backs are weak. They shake and cower at the first sign of personal involvement gaining satisfaction only from others toils and folly without ever putting forth an opinion or idea once their own. Consider them life’s mute audience; non-paying and non-productive. (Not unlike a nipple of a foot).

I'm pretty fearful of posting my viewpoints. As you know. Still, I've never rated any thread.

Same for me...every thread start gets a single star. I figure it helps me find it later. But hey, I'll give this one a best rating...just to screw whomever up.

What is a rating? I've paid for too many bad movies to care.

Never pay any attention to rating stars, never rated a thread.
