I have this certain way of responding in discussions in a matter of fact way. I mean, no beating behind the bushes --- simply expressing what I think and feel on the subject in question. This is a forum, right? We post discussions and encourage others to respond but don't expect everyone to be sympathetic or agreeable with the point of discussion we have raised.. Do you rate responses based on what you think should be the response or rate it according to the weight of the response?
When I rate responses,I don't care if the idea is contrary to mine. I don't always expect that my point of view is acceptable to everyone. How about you?

I am fairly new to this so I don't yet rate responses. I do although think some people probably do rate them to what they think they want to hear. I know not everyone has the same opinion and if you didn't want to know exactly what people thought why did you even ask them? I wonder if they think about how in depth someone thought about the subject before they rated or if they thought how the subject affected different people's live. Maybe if they take time to think of other people it might affect the way they are rating people. I was taught noe to judge. I have even had some rude remarkd on a few of my topics I just ignore them though. I don't feel its right to respond to rudeness with rudeness. That doesn't get us anywhere in this cruel world taht welive in.

I like your point of view...to quote you, " If you didn't know exactly what people thought, why did you ask them?"
I apply this even in my classroom. When I throw a subjective question to the class, I tell them their opinions matter regardless of whether those opinions are those that I want to hear. I tell them that if our opinions clash, it's my fault that I asked them in the first place.
