4.  Have you ever felt victimized by the rating system?  Have you posted
something which has obtained a low rating and felt uncomfortable or unhappy
about yourself or about LUGNET because of the low rating?  How often?

Yes.  Yes.  If someone disagrees with me and wants to let the world know, I
at least want to know who said it.  This kind of anonymous, public reply is
wide open for abuse.

Hmm, hmm...  Very insightfully put.  Hadn't looked at it from the point of
view of an "anonymous, public reply."  Interesting...
