Does the scoring thread without argumentation make any sense?

Some of us are evaluating some threads on board positively or negatively without giving any questions for better explanation. Is that make any sense? For example - scoring specific thread negatively without commenting - might means that this player do not understand thread... but not understanding it does not mean that something is "stupid".

Positive or negative topic valuation is only... suggestion. Sugestion that thread is good or bad, but how it can be bad or good if nobody know what is right or wrong with specific thread if there is no arguments about that? It should be not like that after/before scoring we should argument our evaluation?

Last time I checked you seemed to very much not want to have anything resembling a conversation with me.

"No, for the 2nd time I do not want you here. You feeling plesure by argueing with me... so discuson with you is like scrubbing with concrete. ABRA KADABRA ! Go away you bad spirit !"

May I have your permission to go back to my old ways of disproving things you say?

I would love a formal invitation to get back to trying to teach you what burden of proof is and try to enlighten you about team MMR systems.

Or would you rather take 1 downvote with out comments?

Look, I am probably going to be eternally frustrating for you if you still building all your arguments around trying to prove this to be true.

I'm hardstucked in silver. Not becouse my skills, it is because broken system that selecting weak players to my team. Experience is not exactly the same as skill, but if you will be more experienced than your enemy - you should know more, you should be better prepared and if you are not stupid you should win the game.

I will try to abide by board rules here. Let me know if the following bolded bit is relevant to our interactions.

"Seek to offer constructive advice in a civil and friendly manner, and understand that things you find obvious about the game, the behavior system, or the Boards community may not be obvious to others. Have a little patience and try to help the player reach a better understanding. At the same time, don’t be discouraged if they aren’t receptive. Some small percentage of players won’t want to listen to your advice, no matter how politely you try to lend a hand. In these situations, simply exit the conversation gracefully."

The same can be said about a lot of topics, including politics, movies without seeing them (based on actor/director), music without hearing it (based on artist/composer), foods without tasting them (based on restaurant/chef).

It is endemic to society that people have precharacterizations of a subject, based on its surface attributes (e.g. the title of a post). While it would be better if people understood a topic at a certain depth before prejudging it, the reality is that it won't happen. It is a sad truth, but it is still the truth.
