NO offense Tickle, but I thought the purpose of rating the responses was to get user feedback on how useful the information is. I think Bossman has a point. Mybe he/she agreed with the succinct poster, but would have hoped for a little more elaboration on the point.

If someone rates a product or service, he or she should not then be criticized for providing that rating. It would likely discourage an open dialogue.

You have it partially correct. May I call your attention to the guidelines for using the comments feature found here:

I have to side mostly with Tickle here. While I agree that her answer was short and direct, it was a valid answer. What I disagree with in Bossman's rating was the criticism without his own comments. I wouldn't have any problem with it had he posted a response that contained more information.

And what's wrong with criticizing a rating that might not be appropriate? If someone provides a rating, the should be willing to back up that rating. That's part of why a comment is required when posting a rating.

P.S. I've moved this the Feedback area not to hijack the original thread found here:
