Comments: The game numbers listed are only relevant to the rating and tags he gave me. The particular tags that caught my attention were "rude" and "complainer", as the other two tags he gave me are completely subjective so I won't include them. Looking at those games (the only ones I've played with this individual), it's clear that at no time did I complain or act in a rude manner (in fact, just the opposite, I believe).
This led me to contact the individual, the response of which was: "there's a reason for it alright, see if you can figure it out. And if you don't like it, foe me and move on, Ha!". (PM forwarded to lancehoch)
I further asked him to clarify the reason for the rating, to which I then received the following response:
"I'll give you a hit, you whining, nosy, annoying little crybaby...forums. Now, use your incessant obsessiveness and look look look, since this is obviously so important to you. By all means, spend hours of your pathetic life searching the forums, because that's where your reason lies. Happy, you wittle ittle bittle baby?" (PM forwarded to lancehoch)
This led me to look at ratings he's given other players...and it's painfully clear that he's simply using the ratings he leaves as a vindictive measure against players who he simply doesn't like from the forums (certainly in my case). Clearly, I am not the only one who sees his ratings as thoroughly irrational. This individual seriously needs censure.
EDIT: This thread would appear to be the entire reason for his rating of me:
