If someone started calling me names and slagging me off, than I would give them a negative rating, it's one thing to say you don't agree with someone but another to attack the person themselves.

I think it is wrong to give negative rating for responses which does not agree with your topic. AFter all it is only the opinions people express and they have every right to express what they want (if they are not using abusive language). Thousand people in...

It's just not fair, and I also hope that they realise that they should only use the neg. rating for people who truly deserve it.

Get a grip. ha ha Your right. It is sad that people will give a negative rating to someone that they do not agree with their opinion! We are here to discuss ideas and such. The idea of many different people coming together as a community is that they will be...

I came across 2 posts yesterday where the posters had seen a drop in their ratings after posting discussions. One guy posted a religious discussion and i don't know what the other one posted. I don't see why people can't just reply that they don't agree and...

I do tend to joke sometimes but not because I want to insult the person, it's just the way I am...I just don't see why people can't respond to that person and tell them that they didn't appreciate whatever they said.

I've also noticed lower ratings for people who are outspoken or have a habit of expressing themselves in a strong way, regardless of their opinions. And people who joke around in their answers also seem to get lower ratings.

It's just a lot like the real world! People on here have to 'attack' those whose opinions they don't agree with, if only they could just leave it alone and agree to disagree in a civilised manner.

Same here. I have come across discussions where I think the poster is a bit ignorant with what they're posting, but I don't give negative ratings for that. Instead I let them know how I feel about what they've written.

I give neg ratings but not to topics or responses I disagree with. We are all entitled to our different opinions. I only give them to idiotic one line or one word responses or where the respondant obviously hasnt read the post and posts drivel.

That's what I do too, I've had everything from 'I don't know' to people just typing gibberish on their keyboards.

I do agree, I don't rate people bad when I don't agree with there answer or there response. The only people I have rated negative are the ones who respond I don't know, and the ones who have cut and pasted discussions as well as responses.

If someone is attacking another person's point of view and being abusive etc than fair enough, but if someone posts their point of view and they haven't set out to be abusive etc, than that's not ok..

You have to admit, though that sometimes some people's statements are so bigotted and biased that they deserve to be given negative ratings. I do give these people negative ratings.And I will continue to do so.
