why is a rating system even necessary?

I guess it could make some people feel all warm and fuzzy or then again it could also simply be an ego thing

It will never be objective anyway...not when diametrically oppossing sides are rating each other.

Then why did I suddenly, within a few minutes, drop from 4.3 to 2.9 on this thread where a string of ones suddenly showed up?

ignore the rating system and it goes away
