I have to speak up here. Far be it from me to create drama where there hasn't been any, as of yet, but I would just like to reiterate the importance of being kind to others. I know that this place has a ranking system. I know that everyone is entitled to rank others.
HOWEVER....
If there is something about another person that just rubs me the wrong way, I know better than to leave terrible rankings on their blog/profile/etc... It is the adult thing to walk away and leave that undesirable person be. It is NOT the adult thing to rank everything that they are proud of and have worked so hard on, poorly.
Am I alone in my sentiment? My mother told me to say things that will build others up or keep my mouth shut. While I have forgotten that rule at times (as every human does,) it really needs to be enforced here at the Buzz. Rankings are not meant to be a tool of hate. Can I get an AMEN??

I agree with you on TOTALLY! In Martial Arts tournaments that I have had the privilege to judge in, most organizers will request the officials to score from 8 - 10. (9.57 and the like) This prevents somebody from getting humiliated by a 2. The 8 will communicate the same thing without the insult. Fantastic post. =0)

Great thought, thanks for saying it! I am surprised at the idea that this has to be said in such a fun forum. But the ranking tool is there, so it must be for a reason. Use it wisely!

If I don't have anything nice to say, I don't say anything at all (just like Mom taught me).
