this board is obsessed with .5
personally i think .5 should be banned
the people who award .5 in player rates are wrong. this is because they are marking according to their perception of what 5,6,7 etc mean from the national dailies, sunday papers, the argus and champ, rather than their own original constructs.
they are failing to say to themselves - 'i am not sure what to rate coxy, his effort demanded a 7, but his skill only a 6 on this days occasion... and yet these are not options in the one to ten rate system... how frustrating.'
Further, they aren't saying to themselves: 'therefore i must re-evaluate the terms of which i mark one to ten, in order to create a new system by which i can relate my perceptions of performance within the crucible the one to ten system grants, and not by adding .5 to the crucible within which these ideas are communicated.
.5 is not an option! it should be destroyed! it is wrong and worse than both aids and hitler and paedos!
except here where it is largely irrelevant of course
i rate the joke six and two-thirds
