Question Post score representation
I really don't like the vote count representation. Positive count, negative count AND a bar? That feels messy to me. If we want to differ a post with zero votes, and a post with 10 upvotes and 10 downvoted, maybe something like this?

Comment Post #276875 @DonielF. As I said many times before, applying pre-*Matan Tora* people with S"H is a bad strategy, and even then, "honoring your parents" is beyoned the strict ruling - "ויש שהוא כודנו ברחיים ויורש גן עדן"

Comment Post #276731 @Harel13 Two question that rise when interpreting as the "classic" reading: Why the sage didn't agree with Rashb"i? And why he played that trick, instead telling Rasb"i that he disagrees?

Comment Post #276731 @Harel13 Since both options are harsh anyway, I think my reading is possible for it's fits the wording better.

Comment Post #276840 @robev "hatov vehameitiv" is no an upgrade from saying "bore pri hagafen" since it does not replace it, it's an upgrade of "Shechianu" [which is no special for grapes].
