Abyzz is an unknown quantity at this point
I understand your concern, but as with this thread it is all about being constructive. Rating states the evaluation, and the comments explains that evaluation - hopefully - in a constructive manner. Saying that editing is average is a repetition of the score and doesn't really offer much in the sense of suggestions to improve, or a statement of why it is average. That said I don't believe your comment should receive anywhere near -9, but there seems to be a pack-instinct with the community in that if a comment is highlighted or blown to pieces it will emphasize itself until the point of absurdity.

And then of course there's the ones that completely abuse the system to prolong their figurative e-peens, awarding themselves 17 points in one comment stating "Cool." with the standardized 5/5/5/5 so that they top the Voters Points list.

But to return to the subject: if you feel the current system is unfair and unbalanced, what would you suggest to improve it? Anyone can spot a problem, but to come with a working solution is what really matters.
