Hey I got neg rated! for the first time. Yay! Only it was only a double :( I donlt know what was so good about my building, but apparently it does not offend as much as my appearance and behavior. Of course the way I see it the person has never seen me, so they really only want to emphasise how bad my behavior is. Of course maybe since I cannot spell they neg rated my appearance based on spelling errors!

I would have liked a triple, just for the gratification of knowing I annoyed somone so much, but hey I am vain, and as ai frequently say arrogant and condescending. But then I am up front about my positions on everything and don't skulk around anonymous neg ratings (or neg ratings in general). So really what is the point of doing it anonymously when I can just assume it was done by some foolish griefer? (I have apretty good idea of who it is, since all the usual people I annoy haven't negrated me yet, and I have been far more annoying in the past).

But really my big questions is why spend the money to neg rate, or positively rate anyone, when the ratings system is going away? I find I have been on a rating rampage, ranting all my friends positively before the system goes away, just so I can say I did it when I had the chance. Is anyone else still giving out ratings now, even though they are even less meaningful than before?

Confess your waste of ratings money here! Is a positive rating a solid way of picking up an memebers of the opposite sex? enquiring minds want to know.

Feed a starving Linden, help move SL forward. ;)

Guess you could still rate for kicks, altho I think it has been established at this point that it's definite that neg ratings are going away—pos ratings, on the other hand, look like they will be held on for awhile, although there won't be L$ stipendratingbonuses awarded after a few weeks's time. :) Some will still give ratings because they feel good about it and feel like someone deserves it, although in the longterm, the looming cloud of a more ultra ratings system might make some hold off, like "Er... I'm gonna rate ya, just not until 2006".

I pity the myopic lowmind mentality that will soon have all their negrates given out nullified more impotently than a flayed cricket being trodden upon by a braying maremule calling out for lover past midnight. What is there to show for it? Nothing. What comes? More positivity.:D

Positive are lovely to give of course.. I have done that to very helpful people o people that are nice.. in al aspects..

To be neg rated by idiots (yes we have such in SL) are only to laugh at.. But of course IF you get one with a serious well written one.. then you should think about it... BUT on the other hand.. why not talk to the person that you shall/want negrate first???

I myself should love to see the pos ratings stay. Are a nice and easy way to be happy and feel positive...
