My advice is this. If you have a thin skin, then either post plain vanilla remarks or stay out of the site. If you have a strong opinion, you are going to get adverse comments as sure as a pitcher of Kool-Aid draws flies at a 4th of July picnic.

I would not give the troll the pleasure of giving this a five. they would love to think it upsets me or anyone else here. I have not been too attacked here. I feel pity for them, to have such a dismal life that attacking someone they do not know by giving them all unhelpfuls. or leaving nasty emails is their idea of fun.I do not let them get to me, I shrug off their attacks and still stick around RAteitall, and they usually get bored and go away.

I'm sure a lot of pathetic "trolls" would NEVER have the cojones to confront others so rudely in person.I guess this must be their one cheap thrill in their empty little lives...

I have found that this comes and goes like the wind on RIA. I have received attacks anonymously and some not. There are some people who like you one day and then for some unknown reason turn on you the next. Then there are people who you trust, they are even flow, they don't get upset because you are the only one you know how to be, which is of course.....you!

HAHA! These guys really love me.

So, I've never been the biggest fan of the "unhelpful". I rarely use it to mark someone's comment and I rarely ever get them, until now. Someone (and their herd of sheep) have decided to take it upon themselves to go through the last (nearly) 150 comments I have written, and rate me unhelpful. They've gone to all of my recent weblists and rated them a "1". I wouldn't care if I was actually offensive or controvercial in all of those 150, but I haven't been. Because these people didn't like ONE thing that i said, a week ago, they've been playing this game of "attacking" everything little aspect of my site. I ever lost 150 helpfuls at some point during their little rampage. The unhelpfuls were okay, until random (or not so random) acts of childishness were made evident by them. I find it amusing, even hilarious, that you'd waste hours upon hours obsessing over every aspect of my visit to RIA each day. Do you have nothing better to do than to be so juvenile? I mean, really? I wonder if this topic is under the ways to improve RIA list? If so, maybe I'll mention how unhelpful the unhelpful marker is to the site, especially when delinquents use it for their little vendetta against other reviewers.
