I hate that as well, oh well.
I don't know, it was kind of funny. I was expecting Spkr Bldr to oblige me with a hit of a few points like Adam was astute enough to figure out. He's a quick study, that one. So I took note of my points. It was 1819, right? Even though I say it's no big deal because it's not a big deal you still should have seen my face when I noticed that little red square in the column that's always been all green. When I got to the bit about my points being 1799,
I think my jaw dropped.
Well, it did but only a little.
Alright fine, it hit the floor.
My only encounters with anonymity have been from people leaving unsigned pos rep and that kind of bothered me because I like knowing who my friends are so to speak. So I can see the beauty of anonymous neg rep. It's like putting a blind fold on someone and then kicking 'em in the balls. WTF, you already think they're a douche bag. Signed neg rep is weird sign of respect. You can still hammer things out and move on.
I'm kind of curious if the mods or admin can see peoples User CP's and PM's. I bet they can. Maybe not the mods but I think admin can for sure. BTW, the -20 pts could only have been dished out by a select few. I made a little experiment of the whole thanks & rep thing recently. I figure it was someone with 7 or 8 chicklets and a rather devilish sense of humor that I have exchanged good natured barbs with previously.
