Well, what is diplomatic and insightful to one might be very poor advice or commentary to another.
Sour grapes, however, is an inherent risk to the system and your point is taken (not that you needed me to agree, but you are correct, and it is point to think about).
I personally have only seen a couple of posters who are in the red zone for this rating system and I don't disagree with the "rating" given to those couple of posters.
Then again, I'm one of those research dorks (explains why I research in real life) that can't make a decision about doing something or buying something without scads of research and opinion reviews. The personal reviews regarding a trip to a city in Germany or a laptop cooling pad mean something to me. If TripAdvisor or Amazon has a reviewer who is generally viewed as giving very poor advice, then I'm going to take that review with a grain of salt. Same with SwingersBoard, I guess.
Interesting food for thought in any case.
