I don\'t understand this rating.

I can understand 30 people giving me a "1" as I'm not Mr. Nice guy and really
don't care if I upset a few of the good ol' boys around here
and I can understand why 17 people might give me a "5"
but why in the heck would one person spend the time to give me a "3"?

Have you ever bothered to give someone a "3"?
Usually people just give someone a "1" or a "5".

Re: I don\'t understand this rating.

Actually I have given a few 3's... back when begging for ratings was the Hot New Thread Concept, I'd dole out 3's when I thought somebody was unfairly getting 1'd to death, but I didn't personally think they were a 5.

I'm sure it never made a difference, but what the hell.

Yeah, I haven't rated anyone since I changed my screen name because I have to go back and change it to my original name to rate people and that's just a hassle. If I could remember all the people I gave "1"s to I'd probably change alot of those but I can't even remember who I rated. Just seems like alot of the people I didn't like back in the day I find to enjoy their posts now. But I still don't think I could just go "hey, this guy really doesn't get me going one way or another I think I'll click on his profile and give him a "3"".

Just decided I didn't like people screwing with the name during board arguments
and thought I'd steal the fire, as it were, by getting a board name
that's pretty much screwed up to begin with.

Plus I think it's just a cool name for any Newbie to see when the come here.

Well, I know that when I changed my name I changed nothing else (post count, title, location, etc) and immediately Smokin posted that he knew who I was and I wasn't so smart in trying to "hide" my identity so I pointed out to him that he was quite the Sherlock Holmes of the board. So to answer your question did you ask Smokin?

You can ask Smokin anything you like from "Hey Smokin', do you like puppies?" to "Smokin, is your sister really a bukake jizz mop?" and the answer's always pretty much the same -

Kinda like a hemmorhoidal Sid Vicious vomitting a thesaurus into the wood-chipper.

I can't believe how fuckin' pathetic you are, you opulent walrus physiqued, fat overweight, hairy poon-repellant loser! Go kill yourself. You don't matter around here you geriatric liberal fucktard! You're like the $80k a year dork who flagrantly latches onto my leg at parties because I pull the poon and he wants to bask in the glow of my aural! I bet the inside of your K-car feels like it's been fogged with PAM from the cellulitic lipids drizzling off your lardass 8% bodyfat hide you grotesque, furry, senile melodious trasheap!

WAR HE HATES PUPPIES SO DON'T ASK!
