This sums it up pretty well for me too. I'd like to add, however, that it gets progressively more frustrating to do each time given the communities lack of appreciation and respect. It's gotten to the point where I've thrown detailed notes out the window. I used to even offer to re-judge a file; I'm not above admitting I'm wrong when I am or having judged a file with a poor mental state and that attributing to a bad score, but if nobody's going to respect me enough to make an approach in a way that doesn't cause a commotion than I don't have time to deal with it.
