Reps.

I got bad rep from JAM Whaaahooo!!! LOL
That's right. I gave you RED rep for the nasty comment made about me on this thread; the personal attack, if you will, and I did receive your RED rep as well calling me a "retard." How juvenile.
Usually, people cry and whine about RED rep received because, in fact, they're hoping some members will give them GREEN rep to compensate. It's a move, a childish one at that.
I never dreamed this one thread would have caused so much consternation as it has.
Rep seems to be a popular topic of conversation on this forum, and so here's my 2 cents.
Interestingly, because of this thread, I have received one RED rep so far, and it was from you, Pii, in retaliation for the RED rep I gave you, of course.
However, I have received nine GREEN reps, six PMs, and one e-mail about this thread, one which I wish I had never initiated. One RED rep and one PM was from you, Pii, and you know what you wrote.
I cannot read all of the GREEN reps right now because they only show the most recent five reps. Before I logged out today, I had received five GREEN reps from this thread, but it has now multipled.
Here is one of the four PMs I got about this thread, name withheld intentionally:
Hi I usually don't send notes but I thought it was important. I have been thinking of this for awhile and you post some great threads. I put you in the company of best of the best on azb.Your post are hard to misinterpret and it amazes me how often it happens. I could of written this as a reply to many posts but that seems to provide many people fuel for flame. I sometimes fear that you will get tired of this and quit, I hope that isn't the case because you write great, know what your talking about and by far most of us enjoy and respect your threads. Sorry for a PM but I thought it was important to support you. I have a feeling you get quite a few of these support notes....
And here are four of the most recent reps I received about this thread. Of course, you know what you wrote on the RED rep about this thread, but here's the GREEN rep about this thread, again, names withheld to protect the innocent:
Don't worry, most of us get what you are saying. It's just a few jerks trying to misrepresent your posts.
Your posts are always thoughtful and a joy to read.
I enjoy your posts. U have a heart of gold.
Please dont quit posting. You are my favorite posts.
Oh, yeah. Then there's the e-mail I got this morning, after this thread, again, with the name withheld :
Nice Thread...Anyway, I continue to enjoy your posts and I hope the flamers don't get under your skin.
So there you have it, Pii. For every one of you, there's a couple dozen more who feel quite the opposite about me and what I write on this forum. I have learned how to step over the piles of sh*t posts written by trouble-makers like yourself. Usually, I don't respond to posts like yours about REP, but I just want to let you know that this forum is big enough for the two of us.
I understand that the REP system may be fun for some folks, but me personally, I wish they would dismantle it. It doesn't have the same effect anymore as it did when it was first initiated. Maybe they should have the point system reevaluated, and make it so that the points are equal in number to all. Today, a person can get 11 green squares in a day. When the rep system first started,on this forum, it took several months and even a year in some cases to get 11 green boxes. I digress and maybe this is the topic for another thread.
Thanks to all who GREEN-repped, PM'd, and e-mailed me. Your kind words are very much appreciated. :smile:
