I started to - one guy gave me negative rep for flaming off a bit too hard. I looked at his rep and it was mostly positive - looked at a bunch of his posts and they were pretty much on point - then reconsidered my post and decided that until he actually deserved it, I'd hold off. It's been over a year...on point bastard.
Folks get personal, power crazed with it. I've been stopped from giving too many positives in a day, though.
Most of the negative reps I get are for disagreeing with the Brady bashers. Most of them are just haters anyway. They bitch about Smoke, Skip, PMAC, uniforms, you name it.
I give out red. a thread similar to this usually gets it. martin is the red master...he knows when to use it. tirk is trigger happy with the red also. in their honor, I am bestowing red on you for starting this thread. carry on cheese
