ONE love, blood, life
I come into this thread both as a long time victim and a perpetrator.
I am really questioning the need for for the thread ratings (stars). I see people rate threads low because they don't like the thread starter...or it may be a poster's personal opinion on the topic at hand...or, you can go into a whole set of discussion topics and rate every thread (including ones about serious topics such as death, etc. and make them one star ).
This can add humor to a situation, but for the most part, I think it is taken personally and leads to unneeded hurt feelings and contempt against other (unkown?) community members. It adds to unneeded division in what I see as a very tight online community.
I feel it is a REALLY silly little feature that adds NOTHING to the site.
I am calling for the banishment of the thread raitings!
