Actually, Nukeboy, I am not sure that you can say truer. True (and False) are absolute states. Just as one cannot have absoluter, how could one have truer. True, unlike (perceived) truth does not have degree. It either is or is not. At least this is the way I understand it. I have thought of several examples, but after a bit of examination, it becomes obvious that the exaggeration is being done to emphasize a point. I would take each possible case in its context. In this case Stefano, I would suggest the forum is more truthful than the gallery. As for myself, I have never (except once or twice, and then by accident) allowed ratings on my images. For some reason, I am just not comfortable with the idea of art as a competition and that is what the ratings idea makes me feel that it is.
Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
