I will generally score on a story but only comment if it really inspires me to say something. I can't see myself commenting without scoring. A story that I didn't feel like scoring likely wouldn't inspire any comments, either. As a writer, though, I prefer comments to simple scores. They at least say something about what the person liked.

Why do some readers comment but not score?

I checked the other day and discovered I'd scored just seven stories in the last two years. Most of them were first time authors or people I felt had been unfairly voted down. They were all 5s.
I've said before that votes are pretty meaningless. 5/5 for what exactly? Being perfect literature? For effort? For being a friend?
Comments on the other hand are like birthday cards. Intrinsically worthless with a clichéd message but they still give you a warm glow inside.

Oh yeah, I've felt your warm glow inside.
It was awesome.

Don't know about you 'light-dependent lifeforms' but either because I'm blinder than a bat or (more likely) a careless, single-digit IQ computer user, there have been times when I inadvertently failed to vote but left a, no doubt, scintillating comment. ;)
