Does anybody even LOOK at users' ratings?

I never rate people using the survey. And I never will.

However, I do occasionally see people's ratings when checking their profiles. It was a pleasure to see an almighty arbiter of character whose nick starts from Z hide his or her rating. I bet such person feared the votes were against him/her and decided to hide the results or the option. Despotism, I tell ya. . . .

My nic starts w/ a Z 😀

Coming from a person who has neither "her" profile visible nor "her" private messages enabled, and who presents "herself" as the final arbiter on physical beauty yet refuses to post verifiable pictures of herself. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Irony. It seems that it was not dead after all.

I'll tell you what though, if it would really please you, I'm more than willing to turn my ratings on so that you and everyone else about whom I don't care can give me a 1 as I know you want to. You have until 2:00 am EST to rate me.

Why are they even there? I don't know of anybody who takes them seriously, so you'd think they would have been phased out by now...

not really, but its usually just there when i look at people's profiles to check out location and stuff...

You got a 10 for that post. 😀

Yep, you got a 10 from me as well 😀
 
*applauds*

Hey luvly, meet the challenge, just for fun! Turn on your ratings for as long as ZV has his on! Since the ratings are pointless anyway...

So, Zenmervolt, you still can't get over me? Wow! As if sharing my pic in its entirety would make any difference for someone secretly salivating and thinking that no person who's really good looking can post at a forum. Again, until you point out the relevance of my looks in this thread, you're engaging in red herring and I'll never be a party to that. Oh, don't worry about my PM. Only special people ever get a response from me. Your mental system must have automatically turned off the presence of my PM button because you were extremely afraid that I would hurt you or shun you. Sorry for your failure to see well. Do you wear glasses by chance? LOL! That's right! You do!

Don't flatter yourself. So, your feelings for me has you constantly thinking that every statement I make is directed toward you? Amazing! I didn't realise that there was only one Z at this forum . . . the rest like ZZZZ, Zetler, Zodder, Zuffy, Zigzag03, Zorro, Zsour, to name a few who would or might fit that description I gave are insignificant because you say so. Wow! You must think so highly of yourself. Keep it up! Zenmervolt, are you now a self-proclaimed Zen?

"Well luvly, you had your chance. You're not receiving another one."

So let's get this straight, Zenmervolt: You like me, like me so much that you're salivating all night? Furthermore, you were convinced that I would make you an exception to the rule? Hello? I wouldn't give up my sleep to stay awake all night for Zenmervolt so I could meet his deadline. But most importantly, you're not an exception to the rule: I will never rate anyone at any forums using numbers or any quantitative methods. Making you an exception would also be a concession to your presumption that it was you I referred to or that I cared about you at all. Beside, I didn't know that only males have nicks that start from "Z". 😉

Thanks for finding me so important enough to single me out even when I made no explicit comments directed toward someone nicked Zenmervolt. I'm flattered. 😉
 
Ah. Forgive me. At 1:30 in the morning I'm not at my sharpest. I must have overlooked the PM icon.

If you were indeed referring to someone else, I would be interested in knowing to whom you were referring. Via PM if you don't want to make it publicly known. I will say that three members aside from myself thought that you were referring to me, and that it was one of them who directed me to your post, which I would otherwise never have seen.

BTW, your non sequiturs are amusing.

Some one MUST.

I've had like 20+ votes since I responded to this thread.

And I doubt ANY of them were good......

people.

It's not like I was BEGGING for votes or anything, and I don't go around trying to piss folks off (much anymore) 😉


BTW: My ratings are now OFF... till this thread fades into obscurity.....
 
"Ah. Forgive me. At 1:30 in the morning I'm not at my sharpest. I must have overlooked the PM icon."

It's okay. Some people have four eyes. Besides, I remember doing something similar long time ago when someone started a thread about having met Jaymee Ong at a club. I had given an opinion in response to the statement that she was "hot". Of course I got personally assaulted for holding the opposite view. Then I was challenged about posting my pic. Somehow I managed to think that one of those who requested pictures--SSP--was requesting that I post my pic (whereas he actually meant the original poster who claimed to have seen Jaymee should post the pic he took).

"If you were indeed referring to someone else, I would be interested in knowing to whom you were referring. Via PM if you don't want to make it publicly known. I will say that three members aside from myself thought that you were referring to me, and that it was one of them who directed me to your post, which I would otherwise never have seen."

Sorry, but frankly, it's none of your biz. And I find it interesting that someone would PM you about my post even though it was not explicitly addressed to you. The power of talking drums never ceases to amaze me.

"BTW, your non sequiturs are amusing."

Wow! It's a pleasure to put a smile on your face. Let me ask you something though: Do you always resort to argument against the persons and red herring when arguing about something? I have noted too many cases of such when you're exchanging words with people that have differing opinions on subjects.

LOL! Brutuskend. Too funny. 😀

I have never cared for the ratings. Occasionally I do look at people's profiles and in the process read their ratings. However, I don't care for them. I wouldn't care if they were on or off. The reason they aren't there is because I don't enable my profile, never have and never will (for personal and privacy reasons).
 
I don't.... at first I did, then found myself hitting the wrong button when I voted a few times, so I figure other people have done the same thing... besides, a person should be known by his words, or deeds, not a number...
 
Ah, luvly. Always good for an excuse to post. I wonder if she'll ever realise that the only reason I reply to her is because it ups my postcount. 😀 (Must keep ahead of Paige.) 😉

And just so this isn't completely a nef post: Calling an argument a non sequitur is saying that the argument does not follow logically from its premises. It's far from the same as an ad hominem. Someday I hope to find a logic professor who actually uses the term "red herring". So far all I've ever seen is lay people using it when they want to make it look like they understand logic.

Wow! Thanks for trying to teach, teacher. So I suppose you qualify as that logic professor you speak of? My bad teachers taught me crap in logic and philosophy. They even gave me a diploma! Can you believe it? I didn't realise that only Zenmervolt knew what "red herring" and "non sequitur" meant. When last I checked, you don't resort to dismissing someone's argument by attacking them or simply declaring that it's illogical. You state your reason for why it is with specifics. If we could do what you're doing, then there would be no foundation for reasoning.

Well, by the way that she acts, you sure wouldn't think so 😉 Just don't ask her for any swimming lessons 😛

I guess the rest of you fail to see the sweet fat sweaty 50 year old behind the moniker that I know and love 😀 😛

If you think I'm for one minute convinced that it's even female, you're mistaken. 😛
