I now have "negative ratings" which I honestly feel were "deserved" coming from the person who gave them. I get where that person is coming from, and why they gave me the ratings. I'm not butt-hurt at all by it, instead I'm more, I guess,
proud, I guess of them!
Basically, I gave negative rating to someone whom I felt was ranting, and was being disrespectful to the OP's wants, desire for help, and wishes. He gave me negative rating back.
I tried talking to him via a private conversation, and he stated he wouldn't remove his, unless I removed mine, which I felt were deserved. So, I guess I have negative rating.
Oh well
to me, it just means I stuck up for what I believe is right.
negative ratings, don't necessarily mean the person receiving them is an ass, or anything. It just means someone disagreed with them, and it happens.
