hard earn reputation!!!

my heart melted with the good gestures you had. great and thank you for that. i have to agree with you with you. it just seems that people don't know what is open mind and we all have different opinions unless the situation is really directed towards the person then that's another story. exchange of ideas are great specially when you hear from someone coming from a different culture and upbringing in life and from a different country. but we just have to bear that we cannot please anyone and with that someone got to take the blow.

you are right, definitely right..!! it starts to dwindle now and no longer worried about it despite it drops again today. i believe what everyone have said here is true and it's great and i'm glad for the concern that you all have given me into this. it's enough for me to just focus on people who have supported me and i would be visiting your discussions. thank you all for your response.

I haven't been anywhere but i've had a busy few weeks and haven't been able to post as much!!! Don't worry about the ratings too much, just enjoy yourself and keep posting your usual thoughtful, honest responses! xxx

thanks but it seems i am a stoic already when it comes to that matter, they ain't worth my time anymore coz they're afraid i would surpass them. thanks for dropping by boss.

i have been doing what you have said but there are just times that you get annoyed with some of the posts. you now what i'm saying. and you can't make everyone happy.

that is just not my game my friend. the rating is being abused by members here and is so easy to manipulate. i know you know that. even you are nice to people but there are times that you have to disagree coz we are in a different side of the pond. thanks for dropping by.

If you want to increase your star rating, you should stop getting annoyed. If not, then I don't know what else to do.

you are so kind to give me those encouraging words and i appreciate it too but don't ya' worry anymore, i am a cold stone already with regards to my star, sorta of stoic. i get bloated though with your last sentences.i think my star right now is stabilizing. LMAO.

joiemarvic, at first and at the beginning i was really affected and i made a realization on how worthy is it to be worried about then i became stoic. and you are right, it is not about the star, it is about the friends that you gain each day and not to mention the ever growing knowledge i have earned from this forum. it is nice to be around and i am having fun already, i care no more with my star and no longer affected if it goes down because there's really a loophole in the design of the system. sorry to say that but it is really so easy to be manipulated. lastly, i appreciate it so much for what you have done. perhaps, it's the reason why it jumps up a notch higher today.

You said it right my friend!

indeed, i think this is the side that the rating system failed to live to its goal of having such. not that much affected though but was more concern on how the system works and on their goal.

you really are doing good. you're just a point away from perfection. exactly, no one could deter us in doing good still. don't let the detractors affect you, right?

just remember that you cannot please them even how much you want but it just can't be. people have different mind set and most of the time opinionated.

that's right, i kept on doing what is suppose to be done and on things i wanted to do here but i don't care anymore about the rating system which eventually had an effect though yet i care no more. thank you for your suggestion.
