Rate my post as troll, ironstine, agree, clever... what the hey, I don't really give a damn!
The point is, the ratings system is in place to enhance flexibility and hopefully the fun of the site.
It is possible (logically possible) that continued negative ratings of a poster could be construed as stalking, or harassment.
It is also possible that persons (especially adults, for whom the site is designed) have enough gumption, wherewithal, resilience, self esteem, and common sense not to worry about whatever crackpot ratings their posts attract from time to time.
So a humble suggestion - consider the spirit of the game when participating in these forums, and also consider, while it is not a contact sport, it is a tough environment where we give as good as we get.
This post is not aimed at anyone in particular (but you know who you are!)
When patience is tested, results can be unpredictable and heavy-handed!!
OK, back to enjoying the off-season, so long Buhrer, you loser. (joke)
