A good example would be this user http://www.ratebeer.com/user/130905/ on 10/28. I, for one, much prefer people who go to fests, sample 30+ beers, write down a few words, and then fabricate/exaggerate lengthy, florid ratings that they could in no way shape or form possibly remember. Now that’s rating. I honestly get tired of people yelling at short ratings all the time when other people are just liars and inventors. I don’t mean the person I’m replying to. I didn’t look at his ratings - it just fits the topic. And obviously the link he provided is not what I’m arguing for. I’m just saying, get off your high horse everyone.

Yeah, well maybe you should do shorter posts. Like instead of fabricating reasons to be all angry.... We know you, we know you’re way too happy to be posting long annoyed posts. You listen here bucko, it’s high time you shorten up them posts. For example.... here you could have said. "It is what it is, Jack-asses.... kiss my tuba playing a$$" see how much more effective that is?

Message JK beers 7296 º places 442 º 15:56 Thu 5/17/2012 I use it to remember a beer or two and rate by memory.

Did I write a lengthy description for each, no and was honest about it. I have had some of those same beers again and added to the description. For example, you can look at my Pliny rating.

Agree completely and Atom had no context of my situation (which happened to be Darkness day). Amazing how some people are so concerned about what others are doing. I guess someone died and made him the beer rating czar
Message xmarcnolanx beers 945 º places 2 º 21:45 Thu 5/17/2012 I lost some of my ratings from a broken phone: Framboos, Loerik, Bourgogne, etc.... It is easier to just tick it to have some kind of memento of the beers that I tried than to try to recreate a rating out of the ether.
