[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 336283, member: 8"] When I post something informative (that isn't my opinion on something) then I already know it's informative. The rating sounds a bit like "how informative of you, well done. Here's a pat on the back". I find it a little patronizing. If my information is useful to you and you want to show appreciation (and I say [B][I]want[/I][/B], because nobody should feel obliged to do anything) then a LIKE or THANKS makes more sense to me. Yes. Although, a few days ago I hesitated when I was about to LIKE a post because it was part of a Celebrity Has Died thread. And so I decided to sneak out quietly. When we discussed a Dynasty scene (my absolute favourite thing to do) you said - in response to my comment - [B]"This why the "optimistic" smiley is sorely missed"[/B] The problem with a condescending rating like that is that it kind of muddles the flow of the conversation. I'd rather know that you simply disagree with what I posted so we can all move on and talk about the next example. I'm not interested in a "tut-tut" or a slap on the wrist. But you HAD to bring it up anyway. :cliff: [/QUOTE]
