Ed Idiot, did you read this? Fucking moron!
I know, its not right to feed the trolls, but it IS a lot of fun
sometimes.
It's always amazing to follow a troll.
Is this guy giving himself 5-star ratings on google groups? A lot of
his posts seem to have them.

Are you surprised that I get 5-star ratings? Many people are not
idiots, like you, stupid!

It still amazes me how anyone buys into the GG star-rating system, given its
manifest, obvious and freely-discussed shortcomings.

It's a special world here, to be sure.
Amazement and surprise are not the same thing. I didn't say that it surprised me.
I've been seeing flowers and airplanes my entire life, but both continue to
amaze me.

Yes, I do! The fact that I got the 5-start ratings on my postings
explaining how you was rude to me, makes me to kind of trust the
google ratings!

(To readers of m.e.l.e: this is a perfect example of how NOT to write
English.)
(P.S. I know I shouldn't do this, but it is just too fun to pass up ;-))
Several comments to explain about why this is not proper grammar:
In English, the word `was' indicates the past participle of `to be' in
the third person singular form /only/. The relevant past participle
(here, we need to be in second person, which corresponds as well to all
plural forms) that you are looking for is `were'.
The construction `to make one' is not followed by the word `to'; what
you need to do is drop that word from the following infinitive.
There is no word called `google' (there is a `googol', as in 10^100). If
you are referring to the company with that name, then your
capitalization should reflect that, as a proper noun [*]: `Google'.
Semantically, that classifies all of your sins; however, your choice of
words is not the most appealing in the world.
`To get' is very slangy, and, seeing as Usenet expects a certain level,
of professionalism, the better verb is `to receive'.
I know of no rating that uses `starts'; are you looking for `star'?
`5' should not be written as a digit (as well as other numbers less than
ten), it is better to use `five' in this case.
On forums, the term `posting' should be eschewed in favor of the word
`post' (shorter noun, and I dislike gerunds as well).
Finally, usage of exclamation points is highly disregarded in Usenet
posts, as it places others' impressions of you as roughly equivalent to
a loud-mouthed twelve-year old kid. Your continual usage of vulgar
language and poor grasps on the basic points of politeness also add to
the impression of a brat.
[*] Well, in recent times, companies have fallen in love with the
non-traditional forms of capitalization, preferring such proper nouns as
`iPod'. The best rule of thumb to follow is to use the official
capitalization rules of the company owning the trademark.

I have done my best to rectify this situation. I am currently bored and
as such had nothing to do but go through this thread, fixing aberrations
in the rating of various posts. It appears that I am not the only one
who has done this....

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words for my humble slogan.
I came up with it many years ago.
Other people have made similar remarks, e.g., Clark Jones in November, 2005,
Don Herbison-Evans, October, 2004,
Great minds think alike.

Damn, I really *was* sure, that this word has more uses than just

I think there is some "usenet law", that claims that everyone
correcting another poster's grammer is bound to make some
grammar-related error in his posting, as well.
Aren't I right?

You are confusing simple past tense and past participle. The
participle is used as an adjective or with have/had/will to form the
perfect tenses. E.g. "I did X" and "X is done".
The participle of "to be" is "been", the past tense is "was".
