First of all, the dumb rating doesn't mean you're dumb, it means you posted something dumb. I rated a total of one of your posts dumb, which I remember, because you argued that anyone successfully repairing a product themselves should be reimbursed by the company that produced the product. That post was, IMO, indeed dumb. You also followed up with subsequent posts stating that you believed in classic communism. I almost rated those posts dumb, because it is incongruent that a communist would have a hobby that certainly wouldn't exist without capitalism and a market economy, and has also posted laments about lack of product choices and high prices. But I refrained.
It interesting that while you moan about dumb ratings, anyone clicking on your ratings can see that you've received five dumb ratings, but given twelve. I've given forty dumb ratings, and scanning them all just now, I don't regret any of them.
It is also interesting to note that MarkW has given twenty-one dumb ratings. And as for who gave MarkW the dumb ratings this thread was about, in case you're wondering, killdozzer, since you've called me out more than once, it wasn't me.
