Ratings

yah, so Isreali and (the putative) Palestinian states aside...

... I felt like I was pretty even tempered, respectful and moderate in the Iraqi thread(s), but even I took a beating in the "Ratings". Oh well, I guess all that really matters is that I had agreed with certain individuals opinions, and how I presented myself evidently was secondary.

It's interesting to note that nearly everyone who participated in that thread lost considerable "votes". I guess if someone's to have an opinion they either take the hit, or turn off their rating.

Wow, 4 deleted Posts. Did I miss much ?

Aloofi:
The gun is still in there somewhere but I'm not gonna bother with checking out 80+ pages to find it. It was not the gun itself, but our little conversation afterwards and the fact you ignored my request to remove it that p.. me off. BTW; The whole little incident was before you flagged your Israeli orgins (still Saroman, living "anywhere but Europe" IIRC), so you can't blame it on me beeing anti Israeli.

Anyway; Its ancient history now and I have had my little rant, so you won't hear more of this from me

Jimbob:
I remember Your Posts in the Iraqi-thread as very thoughtfull and nicely presented, even though I dissagreed with many. Why someone would give a low rating based on those Posts are beyond me.

well thanks Primitive, that makes me feel somewhat better about it

Grandpa Kim: I went and looked at my Ratings of others, and you know, of 15 Ratings, 13 are 5 stars, and absolutely none are 1 star. I too think that the vast majority of the people at this forum are fantastic people, and have offered a lot to this community. I'd rather "reward" this than "punish" anyone. I've been on plenty of chat Boards, forums, etc (as I'm sure many of us have) and quite honestly have never seen such a good community. Honest.

That said, I don't think I'll be posting over in "Iraq..." again
