Currently comments sort based on time, and the number of votes. This would not change that. Using this rating mechanism would only bias the sort for the users that you rated something other than neutral. So, if you didn't use the mechanism, you would see no change from the current sort. I've been considering that the bias won't change the score of the comment, but the gravity on it. All things being equal, newer comments sort higher. This would cause the comments of a user that you rated 'poor' to fall faster, and the comments of a user you rated 'good' to fall more slowly.
