    Then let's not hear the recurrent bitching about 1's in articles. If you tell people about your bowl movements, have jotd in the soap box that have racial characteristics don't be surprised if some take that baggage with them to the article review page.

    Exactly what has that got to do with using your real name as a user ID? If you use "ImStupid" as your user ID, then all of your articles will be listed under "ImStupid". When people vote articles based on hurt feelings obtained in the forums, they're just cheating everyone else on the site. Example - Ilion posted an article that helped me with a problem, so I voted a 5 on it. He continues to be a dick here in the soapbox, but that has nothing to do with coding.

      I suppose it is the time we've to do something against Mr.Univoter. Good articles are the golden mine of CP and we have to protect them. Last time we discussed this topic, Chris (if I remember well) argued that statistics protects good articles against the univoter plague. Unfortunately it hasn't worked well, at least in this case [^], the article is (IMHO) badly underrated. I know it is a difficult problem to deal with, but CP reputation is at stake (see for instance [^] where the MVP suggests the 2.29 rated article). :)

      It's not that big of a surprise. Toxcct has the bad habit of insulting people every now and then. It's possible that their article judgement is biased by their dislike for him.

        The above should be avoided, if possible. Otherwise article ratings would be just indicators of the author popolarity among CP community. I believe that article rating should only be related to the article quality. :)

          I agree. I just wanted to offer a possible explanation. Toxcct can be very rude sometimes, borderline crazy if you ask me, and that will upset some people. Humans, as you know, are not always cool headed.

            I was aware about (I know him... :rolleyes:). Here's another victim of 'not cool headed humans' [^], see the last part of the biography (however, I suppose you already know about). :)
