Better a Two-Star Bandit than Dishonest
Yep! You heard me right. I would rather be called a two-star bandit than to give writers high ratings they do not deserve. You see, being dishonest in that devious way, always leaves me feeling that I have short-changed the writer by withholding advice that could be of vital assistance to the writer's success. Even worse, it leaves me feeling that I am actively contributing to his failure by helping to ingrain the bad habits that have made him unsuccessful in the past. I consider such a thing tantamount to sabotaging a writer's efforts at success and that is definitely not a Christian thing to do.
Matthew 7:12
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Romans 13:10
Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Galatians 5:14
The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: "Love your neighbor as yourself.

No, I do not consider a delusional happiness garnered from the dishonest evaluations to be any compensation at all. Neither would any other writer who is genuinely striving to improve desire to have his work evaluated dishonestly. Quite to the contrary, writers who genuinely want to improve want to get helpful advice and so they can polish their work. In short, as writers, they want to be the best that they can be and they realize that getting their egos dishonestly stroked is no way to achieve that.
So yes, I prefer to be a Two-Star bandit as I was labelled at the Story Star than to harm a fellow writer by deviously calling his flawed work Awesome. Great or Good when in my heart I know that I am lying in order to avoid arousing the ire of the one in charge.
