Exactly!
Seems like a childish exercise to me,there's enough words in the english language to extol what someone feels is a good post,just as there is to describe a negative one,or for that matter to extol the virtues of positive consistent posting,as oppossed to the querulous,rebarbative,vexatious ad hominem types that we all too often get!
I feel that resorting someones character or intelectual/political views to this kind of bias towards computer friendly (it's hard enough for the system to accomadate a posting without pressing the "back" button a couple of times) modern forms of voting will add nothing but to downgrade the forum to the equivalent of modern entertainment,such as "pop Idol" or "X-factor" etc...
I'm feeling somewhat akin with John Lydon in the jungle when Ant & Dec tried to tell him what his vote from the public was!
Very depressing,is there not any santuary's left that have not been tainted by the superficial traits of the modern world!
