Ratings

Question
Okay, so you say about being closed to ratings, "it is apparant to
remain so because of ignorant people to down rate (sic) and say
bad things."  

What is apparent? Ignorant people, by definition would not rate
you because, being ignorant, they wouldn't be able to figure it
out.  Everyone else on AllExperts leaves themselves open to
ratings because it keeps us motivated and HONEST.  And by your
nomination score, you are NOT honest at all, but seem to
nominate yourself or have others nominate you with their email
addresses.  It brings down the other experts.

Another thing is that All Experts asks you to check over your
submissions and writing so that it doesn't have any grammatical
or punctuation errors.  Your Expertise section doesn't capitalize
"I" and "alot" is not a word.  Your Instructions section has
sentences that do not make sense, especially your "explanation"
of why you are closed to ratings.  This may sound very picky and
petty, but people judge you by how you present and express
yourself.  If you can't take the time to spell and grammar check
your writing, how much can you care about what you're saying
to someone who asks a question.  That's what people think
when they see mispellings and you not being bothered to
capitalize the pronoun "I."

I don't mean this as a personal attack, although I think you will
probably take it that way.  It is meant to help you improve your
image.  You talk about ignorant people, well I am about as far
away from ignorant as you can be and I truly believe that 99% of
the people will rate you fairly.  So, when you close yourself off,
you are saying to folks that you have something to hide, you
don't care about their opinion, and you do not trust folks to
treat you fairly.  

The 104 nominations speak for themselves.  You have to look at
yourself in the mirror every day and face what you do.  If you are
honest and earned it (even after closing yourself to ratings) then,  
I applaud you, but how can you say you've earned it when you
don't have the ratings to show for it?  If you are truly getting 104
nominations in less than a month, then you should never close
your ratings.  So, either your lying about the reason for the
ratings closure or your lying about your nominations.  

Answer
THANK YOU FOR THE LECTURE.
I HATE TO BE PUT DOWN WITH 20 REPLIES THAT I NEVER ANSWERED A QUESTION TO SUCH AS: I DO NOT OR WILL NOT GIVE ACHOLOL TO MY DOG WHEN IN FACT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE ANSWERING AND SEND DOZENS OF NEGATIVE 6 RATINGS TO PUT ME DOWN, WHEN IN FACT I AM AN HONEST PERSON, AN OLD PERSON AND I AM AN EXPERT OF MOST BREEDS OF DOGS.
I HAVE HELPED MANY MANY PEOPLE WHEN I FIRST STARTED.
