VincentCuclair Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) I don't know, but i choose to believe it's a positive thing, but i'm inclined to believe it's because i whined before for not having any........it was better without the stars, at least i didn't have to think about it ha ha. I think they should exchange the stars for frogs or so, more fun that way. Edited May 20, 2009 by Vincent C Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Carl are you just posting here because you're waiting for the rendering to finish ? Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Vincent Congratz for your first star rating. Does the 1 star mean that you said/did something Good or for something Bad?? Now you got one! Is it my turn to congratulate you now or...? Quote Link to comment
cad@sggsa Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yes I was waiting for the render to finish, but after two hours it was at about 52% so I stopped it and that was a challege on its own. Thanks for the star though, just now you can't give me a higher rating if I do or comment on something that should reward me with more stars accourding to you.... Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hah there you are wrong my friend! 'Twas not I! Quote Link to comment
cad@sggsa Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well thanks whomever rated me. The fact of the matter is still...you only have one vote....pity. Quote Link to comment
brudgers Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Actually someone rated you at one star rather than more...or your average rating is one star. That's why they can fluctuate. It's a way for those who tell everyone to act like professionals to behave like twelve year olds. Quote Link to comment
Miguel Barrera Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 What do the stars mean anyway? I did not notice them until this was posted. Is it directly related to the number of posts and replies? Being a user since MiniCad 1 which accounts for 23 years working with the program, I feel kind of cheated. Can I have at least 1 star? Quote Link to comment
brudgers Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 One star ratings are reserved for Windows users. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 i see we have a rate this topic at the top of the page. we can use that Quote Link to comment
David Bertrand Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Why would anyone want to rate a user? Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 the stars by my name are my personal rating. if you look at my profile you can rate me. why? i don't know... Quote Link to comment
brudgers Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Why would anyone want to rate a user? So when you think someone's behaviour is too unprofessional, you can get back at them in anonymously in a childish and petty way. But don't worry, as a Mac user you are entitled to multiple stars.

ionw Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ben, I'll leave the cloak of anonymity. I dislike your style of communication about your choice of computing platform. And because of that alone I rated you one star. Had I been able I would have rated you negatively. If you simply said what is good about your choice, it would be enough. To go through the amount of vitriolic detail you did in the Mac v PC thread caused me to thoroughly dislike of your communication methods. And I do mean your communication methods. To be honest I have no idea who you are, what your expertise in VW is, whether you and I like the same pursuits outside of the CAD world, I only know you as the grumpy PC guy. So I if I do read your posts, it is with with that attitude, I assume you are going to say nothing of value to the overall conversation just some catty remark about Macs or Mac users. If you actually said something valuable I would either miss it because I am exhausted by your past rants, or would question its validity because of how I see you. I don't care what platform you are tearing down, I would dislike it. There is enough hatred, anger and violence in this world that I don't need it to infect a place I come to to look for answers and to hopefully provide a few myself. There is enough good and bad for either platform. Both sides have their electric-koolaid makers and consumers. There is room for both sides to jab back and forth, but no reason to be more than humorous. I don't care whether you use a Mac, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7RC, Ubuntu, Red Hat, an Amiga. Hats off to you if you find a platform that works well for you, and a manufacturer that makes a product that stands up to use, performs the way you want and deals with the software and peripherals you want to use and yes, gives you a good return on your investment. That isn't easy to do regardless of platform. In the end if we like the platform we use, we of course will recommend it to others. If someone asks me I will recommend a Mac and conversely you would recommend a PC. The difference as I see it is I would hope that my approach would be to tell the strengths of my platform and yours appears to be telling the weaknesses of the other. In the end, there is no clear winner. Each platform has its strengths and each has their idiosyncrasies. Each platform has its supporters and detractors. I extend an virtual olive branch in hopes that this can be put behind us. I would rather know Ben Rudgers, not some grumpy PC guy. I'd like to know what he uses VW for, how good he is at using it, maybe even try to answer a question or two he might have, or have him help me out of a sticky situation. We'll have to agree to disagree on computing platforms of course, because it is readily apparent that neither of us will change. Sincerely, Ion Webster Quote Link to comment

I took your request seriously, that's why I took the time to respond to you at length via PM. If you choose to see that as rejection, undoubtedly you would have had it been posted here in public. Look at your quoted text in this post. Read your opening and cut the self rightousness. Quote Link to comment

jan15 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Well I certainly missed the reference. What is it? The only yellow star I can think of is the one mandated for Jews by Hitler, but I don't remember any mandatory brown sportcoat. Quote Link to comment
