The way the software on the board is calculating "highest rated post" is totally crazy.

Look at Wente's column about the Radicals are Taking Over (weekend of Dec. 3rd) . 

Look at the highest rated post, which says that conservatives should shut their mouths because "in the real world" it is the right-wing "lunatic fringe" that is a threat worth talking about, not left-wing academic matters, and also that post holds Canadian conservatives responsible for extremism in multiple countries.
That is the "highest rated post"?
Hello?
Look at its voting ascriptions: It got 56 "like" votes, and it got 133 "disagree" votes.
Hello?
How is it that a post that is widely disliked by a margin of over two to one, somehow gets ranked as the "highest rated post"?
That is crazy.
