Yo! One star guy!

Just wanted you to know something...whenever I see a one star rating, I give it a 5 star rating. I do this even if the topic doesn't interest me.

I hope others join me in this quest...

Maybe the forum software has an option to suppress stars until X votes are received? Would definitely put a stop to the c.s. practice.

Do you guys really look at the ratings? I look at the title and OP ID.

Who really cares? I know I don't look at the number of stars when deciding to read a post or not.

Whoever one star guy is, he does so because of who is posting, not because of the topic. Just a little weenie afraid to post a valid thought, but prefers this sneaky method. (edit)...actually, I'd prefer a "no stars" system, let each thread fade or stay on page one on it's own merits.

Double post...I left this thread one star on purpose. Now, what kind of heartless bozo would one star this?

I'm a proud member of the PPOT One Star Club. I feel I am in very good company, and have actually come to feel somewhat jilted if I should happen to miss out. I usually get one pretty quick, though.

Unfortunately, we do seem to have a few regulars who are just childish enough to think they are being cute with this. Equally unfortunate, I can't narrow that list down to less than half a dozen likely suspects.

Judging by the other esteemed members on the one star roster, it is clear whoever this is must be a liberal. Certainly fits with the "childish" part. "Liberal" also fits quite well with the anonymous (= "cowardly") nature of his approach; I'm sure he maintains an anonymous screen name here as well.

Oh well, whater turns his crank.

I'm a proud member of the PPOT One Star Club as well Jeff. I feel I am not in very good company, and have actually come to feel somewhat amused by those who are doling them out. I usually get one pretty quick, though not all the time.

Unfortunately, we do seem to have a few regulars who are just childish enough to think they are being cute with this. Equally inconsequential, I can't narrow that list down to less than half a dozen likely suspects. Mostly because I couldn't really give a füch.

Judging by the other cry babies on the one star roster, it is clear whoever this is must be a big meanie. Certainly fits with the "childish" part of those who cry about it. "Liberal" also fits quite well with those cleaning up the mess left by Conservatives; I really have no idea if he maintains an anonymous screen name here as well, because, as I said, worrying about this is like worrying about, well, what's the lamest thing you can think of.

Oh well, I hope the ignition of gas and air continues to turn his crank.

I can only hope that should I ever post anything close to this thread opened by pwd, Rick Lee will personally put a bullet in my head and put me out of my misery. (But you can't torture my mom Rick, that just wouldn't be right.)

WTF!?!? Are you guys serious? Getting a star is important to you? I have NEVER looked at the rating of a thread.

Sounds like Mr. One Star is living rent free in some empty skulls.
