The number of stars given should be based on this scale: 1 = Bad, 2 = Below Average, 3 = Average, 4 = Above Average, 5 = Excellent.

Right now this 1,1,1 has maybe brought you down from a 4.9 to a 4.5. But no-one is going to avoid playing you because of it.
And it only made even that much difference because right now you only have 10 contributory ratings. Once you have more - 20, 50, 100 ... the odd random random/spiteful/inaccurate one isn't going to make any difference. No one is going to scan through all your ratings to see if you ever got a 1,1,1.
They'll see 4.8 overall. Maybe take a peek and see your individual Fair Play, Attendance, Attitude and Teamwork ratings, but they won't go any further than that.
Given that the Ratings guidance in Instructions says ...The number of stars given should be based on this scale: 1 = Bad, 2 = Below Average, 3 = Average, 4 = Above Average, 5 = Excellent.
... you're still considered "well above average, borderline excellent" which seems fine to me

I think it may well be the beginnings of something that combines the benefits of ratings with the expression of feedback ...

I'd like to assume that if we were to allow written responses to ratings/tags, we wouldn't moderate them...as they would be you typing on your own page...thus representative entirely of yourself. If you make yourself to be a loud mouthed ass that whines and complains, it's all on your page and not anyone elses. If you make yourself to be a courteous responder, again, it would be representative of yourself, on your own page.

If the issue was the logistics of having to moderate negative and unpleasant comments wouldn't the simple answer have been to give each player the capability to delete unwanted comments and block their authors from further utterances?

No - cos then no-one would have any negative comments... thus the feedback would be utterly useless.

For example recently in a game i was holding S.A. and australia in a game, with a clear advantage i would have won the game within 2 or 3 rounds... yellow cashed a set and took me out of australia and saved the game for everybody else. i said in chat "nice play yellow" another very observant player took that to mean I was in a secret alliance and left me all 1's as ratings... (even if i was in an alliance the 1 under attendence was completely unfounded since i never missed a turn and it was the incompetent player leaving the rating that was slowing down the game)
I know a lot of people have their complaints and complements about the new system and I think just simply being able to say "this person has no clue what they are talking about" under the bad ratings would fix a lot of the problems
