Comment on comments. I see the comment rating format has been revamped somewhat but I do not grasp the value of the rating requirement. I am in no position to rate anyone's input...it matters not if I agree with it as free speech has not yet been rescinded to my knowledge. The "computer" will catch foul language...so what are we rating? Is it civil? Is it a good comment? The rating step feels silly and a waste of time. If it found to be out of bounds, someone will flag it and it will be removed. It seems the rating process is already in place and to have the additional steps is extremely wasteful. I wonder how many who comment actually read the post or just poke...yes, yes and yes to get out of it.
