I have found it has nothing do with the content of what is posted. It is all about one person's contempt for the poster regardless of what was posted. So it serves no useful purpose whatsoever, but go ahead and call me a crybaby is that is what floats your boat.

You could never have anticipated the small set minds of some and I must ask you to review what's been going on.

There is some jerk out there who considers me worth a neg even if I say HI and while I really don't give a rat's boohoooney my Daughter is in a very public position in town. I can't let her down.

It is sad that some small person can ruin what your efforts have proven to be most worthwhile.

My own personal suggestion is that you get rid of the "reputation system" which has proven to be little more than a Junior High popularity contest for the simple minded,

While you and I disagree at times, I appreciate the fact that we can agree to disagree as adults.

Guess some can't.

I have not seen you cry about the reputation system, but a few folks have, and some more than once. If it hurts their feelings so much, they should read-only and not post. People cannot vote for or against you if your name does not pop up.

It is not necessary to be unpleasant, or mean spirited to share information. Yet, even on this thread people do not recognize that some people may be more sensitive, and we fail to be variable in their response to some folks. Some folks can share truthful and hardball topics. Others easily get offended and take things personal. If we want to enjoy their input, we should be respectful of their sensitivity and understand not all people have the strength to share on a public forum where some folks insist to be mean spirited. People understand they can be as mean as they wish with me, and hopefully they will continue, but the key on this forum is to be sensitive to other people. On another thread Chrissy raised a reasonable subject about the decline of population and how that might impact our future, and at least two posters attacked her in a way which neither discussed the interesting issue she raised, nor accomplished anything by the mean spirited attacks on her.

A little more respect........and a little less need to hurt people will make this place better. Many of us know who can take a good verbal battle, and we also know who we cannot share with that type of approach. The scoring system is just one more opportunity to be hurtful to those who have low thresholds and are unable to deal with what other people think is nothing but joking around.

Thanks, SO I think we've reached an understanding.

Most appreciated.

I have to agree. People like Ghandi abuse it by going back and negging every post of people he doesn't like regardless of what it says.

That's because every thing you say is stupid.

How would someone of your low intelligence know when something is stupid?
You have to have a bar to measure up to.

I have had two jobs in my life. Still at the second one. And great at both of them.
How many jobs have you been let go from?
From what you posted, dozens. You can't hold a job and your offspring works part time at walmart. Nice job setting the bar for your kids to follow. Loser. How's the hoof problem?
