Correlation between stars awarded for blog entries and actual participation
This will either get masses of 5 stars ... or universal 1 star rating: I'm preparing myself for the worst.
Some of my blog entries have elicited carefully considered written responses - for which I have always tried to offer respectful thanks to the authors, whether they agree with me or not.
Awarding one star, however, and not offering any comment, seems to me a soft option. It's your right on our fine site, of course, but I have noticed that those who award one star rarely send a comment and thereby remain anonymous.
Today, someone commented on a previous entry in my blog and (if I am reading the signs right) he clicked on 3*. An absolutely fair assessment taken in the spirit it was meant - of constructive criticism - with the reasoned and reasonable comment.
And now, I think I'd better retire behind a convenient hedge before the barrage of flack gets going!

Keep to the topic being discussed. What has his lack of a photo got to do with this?

I'm sorry Vanman81, but I'm not sure what you mean here. In writing this blog I just thought to mention something I'd noticed. No thought at all of advertising me or anyone else.

I'm not actually.voting because I like to promote not demote, but consider this my down vote.

Fair enough - and thanks so much for taking the trouble to respond, FighterGuyy. I totally agree: promote not demote. That should be a motto for our site. QED, I think.
