So the forum expects me to be silent and not express MY OPINION
Well, forum is not a thinking entity. There are many people here with very different opinions. We're just talking. You are expressing your opinion, I'm expressing mine and hopefully we can come to some common ground.
to some uncalled for petty or off subject commentaries?
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you are referring to. The subject was your post being moved and I was explaining that there's nothing wrong or antagonistic about that.
Do I really care ? ( about rating)
Oh, you mean the +1/-1? Honestly I didn't really pay attention to that but it seems to be a bit misused here. In the forum software It's intended to help promote helpful answers. I don't really think it should be a thing in the lounge because people sorta seem to use it as "I agree/I don't agree" and it has unintended user privilege consequences. To be clear I'm just talking and didn't -1 your posts.
That's a good point actually. While I think it's ok to rate answers in the technical sections to promote helpful answers and mark down misleading or simply wrong ones, rating discussions in the lounge is not a good idea IMO. I don't think this can be set up on per forum section basis, but I can ask.
