Did something stupid, and now I'm regretting.

Some time back, I started a discussion here that touched sensitive nerves of some users. Before the discussion, my star was a Shelley-blue star(means a very beautiful blue star. Shelley is Percy Byshhe, the English romantic poet)but after that discussion, it fell down to the dull pink and six next to my name. I thought I knew the people who had rated me negatively, and thought I should start a campaign to do the same to them. Well, I went to their profiles and looked for all the discussions they had started or responded to and rated them negatively. But after sometime, I saw that their rating was not dropping down! Ok, it gave me satisfaction then, though I felt less satisfied when their rating didn't go down. But now I feel stupid and immature, what I did was. And though I won't mention them, I'm sorry. In any case, rating someone negatively is a stupid thing to do. Just because you don't approve of what someone is suggesting doesn't mean that you should blacklist them. Anyway, I was what the rules call a 'rogue user' but I'm repentant. How frequently do you rate, and, any thoughts about my confession????

As one of the ones who you offended, I'm sorry you felt vindictive about it. Just so you will know, I NEVER once hit the negative button on you. i do NOT hit negative just for a difference of opinion. No matter how passionately I disagreed with you, you were entitled to your opinion. From the best I can figure out, myLot admin notices vindictiveness & rewards accordingly. The negative button wasn't put there to judge opinion, it's there to judge quality. Every time you hit it, it seems to deduct from you too. So you did it to yourself!!!

Are you aware that this is totally against mylot guidelines. You could be BANNED!! Maybe you should be, but I'm not the one who is going to do it. I report only cheaters and I neg no one. Mature people do not. This is a discussion site. You are not right. Good luck being here if you can't handle descent. By the way, most of us don't give a crap about our stars. Some even ask to be neg rated, so get a grip and get a life.

Why?? What is the star obsession about?? If you care that much about your star you should stick to coke vs. pepsi discussions. You should also be aware that everyone who disagrees with you will not neg you. I wouldn't. None of my friends would. You really need to thicken your skin if you plan to continue to post controversial topics. Good luck

I have a grip, a very firm grip. And I have a life, a very stressed and tight-scheduled one but with spaces of happiness and idleness (NOW!) Part of my life is to be rated positively by everyone and standing by my opinions. One of those is that I VERY MUCH GIVE A CRAP ABOUT MY STARS. VERY MUCH.

"Any thoughts about my confession" - you ask? Dude you just ruined your whole confession by your response in comment #1..."They don't deserve it". Karma is a bltch, isn't it?

Your confession took courage, so kudos for that. It is not easy to admit to something that you know people will not like to hear. I usually rate positive, even if a person posts something that I disagree with. I only rate negative for comments that don't address the topic or just say 'I don't know.'

A confession would normally take courage. However, he admitted that he is ONLY upset that HIS star went down. I'm not about to rate any of their discussions as positive. They don't deserve it. Go ahead & hit the minus button, it will deduct from yours too!!!
