Thread:Talk:Article feedback/Irrelevant/reply (31)

[quote]I couldn't have said it better myself. Once again you've made my point for me. What exactly is the point of a ratings system that lures only the most "stupid and intellectually insecure" readers into editing?[/quote]

No where do I see WhatAmIdoing describe readers as stupid and intellectually insecure. Rather, she was asking if YOU believe that they are and would formulate their own personal opinion on an article and then chuck that opinion out the window because they saw a low rating.

Should we use this reply above as affirmation that you do, indeed, hold the opinions and capabilities of Wikipedia's readers in such low esteem?

Just as an FYI, Common Sense:101, any producer who makes a product (even a free online encyclopedia) and doesn't value or seek the opinions of its consumers will not have the most promising of futures with people continuing to use said product.
