It's one thing to score LEGO sets or movies or record
albums on a [-100,+100] scale, but to score what people write about a hobby
that way -- that's just asking for hurt feelings.  Yah?

I think this has been at the back of my mind all along. I don't use the
web i/f, so I've mostly avoided commenting.

I thought about that too, but I figured that:

1. Most (not necessarily all, but most) people who would get hurt
feelings would tend to post indifferent posts.
2. Unless a post is strongly 'bad', people aren't going to give it a
negative vote.  Most posts will stay at neutral, or go positive.
3. Only members will be able to vote.  Members have a stake in LUGNET.
They will *tend* to be sensitive to issues like this.
