I am the one who gave that post a positive rating, and let me just make it clear that this post neither deserves a positive rating, because it is not high quality enough to befit the mark, nor is it deserving of a negative rating, as it is not a troll or exceptionally low quality post made with bad intent.
I gave it a positive rating in retaliation to what I see is a politically motivated and incorrectly applied negative rating.
Two very senior members on this forum I have observed them misuse negative ratings against other Pakistani members based on them not liking the political content. This is both wrong and unacceptable. Where it happens like this, it is up to the recipient of the negative rating to protest and question it to mods/admins if they deem necessary.
I personally have never given a negative rating to someone other than a troll or a deeply inflammatory remark, almost always by some Indian member.
I know that positive rating I gave is wrong, I know it for a fact, but I’ll keep it there as long as that other completely misapplied opposite rating stays there. The whole point of me rating it was to draw folks like yourself’s attention to the need for keeping things civil in political divisive and charged conversations.
Too many times I myself have witnessed ire and absolute intolerance by a certain politician persuasion for the opinions of others, often that’s verged on a juvenile display of frustration.
Apologies for the rant. I thought I’d explain myself. Thanks.
