Is it really quite necessary to foist your opinion on others by
awarding these ridiculous single stars? As you sit in stupor in your
darkened room, grudgingly doling out single stars to those whose
postings you dislike so violently, does satisfaction ever come to you?

I think of this nimrod as being Andrews-Reading, since he did admit at
one point to giving a single star to a posting that offended him.

From March 2006:

JB: Which dum-dum has gone through this thread, rating my posts 1
star and Brad's 5 stars? As I noted before, people, "tricks are for
kids" ...

MJCAR: I did, actually - except that I haven't rated all of Brad
Verity's posts on this thread (or elsewhere). I rated his original
post highly because I found it informative and interesting. Your
responses were illogical and lacking in relevant content, so I rated
them accordingly. Perhaps the ratings reflect the fact that Brad's
post was detailed, factual and relevant, and did not employ
terminology such as "dum-dum", "silly rabbit" and "tricks are for
kids" - these do not particularly assist in a quest to be taken
seriously on a forum intended for adults posting about mediaeval
genealogy.

JB: Oh, and inanely assigning or subtracting gold stars assists in
such a quest (even assuming one was on this quest)?

MJCAR: Given the reaction, I can only assume that they have indeed
served the
purpose for which they are intended: a suggestion that those rated
lowly lift their game. If the inanity offends your careful
sensibilities, you could always try to stop looking at, and posting
about, the ratings.

By the way, I have rated some of your useful genealogical posts quite
highly.

There's that patronizing tone again: "I have rated some of your
useful posts quite highly." Ugh.
