I'm sorry, am I getting this right? - the fact that some people dislike me because I'm in a linkshell they don't like/friends with someone they don't like/they heard from a friend's friend that I'm a bad person/they're envious/they still hold grudges from the hnm days back at 75 cap, and rate down every damn comment on my profile page, has anything to do with the value of my opinions? Because believe me, there is a LOT of rating down on FFXIAH, on everything possible but especially on profile comments, that is 100% personal and nothing else. That's what happens to me and many other "high-profile" players (as in very often on the most viewed list).

I don't come here, or on any other FFXI forum, and spew a bunch of bs, calling people names and purposely insult them. I have always tried to be civil in forum posts (although I willingly admit I have nearly lost my temper a couple of times on this forum but I still do try to keep it as civil as possible). I hardly "piss everyone off", on any FFXI forum I regularly use.

A lack of likes can tell you just as much about a specific post on this forum, as a bunch of dislikes.
