    Disagreement on an issue is not a good reason for neg repping, imo. Abusiveness or nastiness can be.

    There shouldnt even be any talk about reps between people. Only 4 people know who I have repped. The 2 Mods, me and the person I rep. Thats how it should be.

    Acts, I'm assuming this is related to the other thread you started? In all honesty, I've repped 'friends' more than 'enemies', but not over and over. As Jim said, look at some in the top 10, while prolific, they are not all the best posters, but they do have friends.

    I've repped you many times, but not gratuitously. Nor RSR. Mostly because of either a very good post or showing good judgment on a thread. Sometimes I find myself repping positively simply because someone backs down when heading over the top. I think that's justified, but with 1099 rep points, perhaps not fair to those that post great stuff, but my points went elsewhere.

    I've never been part of a circle, my personality probably precludes it.
    I'm pretty sure I've been fair to you, but I've never held back in stating when you were off, including some neg rep, not much, but some. Never without a pm either, to let you know why. Most often, you've thought it over, after sometimes negging me too, but we've come to a 'meeting of the minds', at least for a bit.

    On the other hand, if I just repped you to rep you, that is wrong. That is what I think, Jim is getting at.

    Mtnbkr, for instance doesn't post all that often, but when he does, he usually has something to say or a witty response to what others have said. I don't know if he's way up in rep or not, but he should be. Same with Jeff. We use to agree on most things, not so much anymore. At the same time, his posts are nearly always thought provoking, so I rep.

    Jim's posts I most often rep, because they are so few and far between! Besides, I like his snarkiness.

    There are many people here I like, but the rep doesn't just follow them. I don't see it as 'us' against others. In the past week, I think I've repped Gabby and LN more than others, because they went across my perception of them.

    That's what I do with rep.

    I rep based on the post. If I like it I pos rep, if its really bad neg rep. I don't rep based on friendship or because someone says I should. I have never had a rep exchange with anyone. I have occasionally given a pos rep to counter a neg rep they got from someone else.

    When someone neg reps me I will usually give them a backatcha.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    I rep for good posts, for good points made in posts, whether I agree with them or not. I rep if you make me laugh, sometimes a sense of humor is too rare. I will rep anyone with whom I have enjoyed the exchange of ideas, whether I agree with their point of view or not. I have been know to rep for Jimmy Buffett references...go figure...

    I have never and will never give a neg rep. Just as I believe personal attacks are a sign someone has gotten under your skin, so goes the neg rep.

    As some have noticed, I always try to send a thank you message for positive reps. My feeling is, if you can take the time to tell me you liked my post, I can certainly take the time and be polite to say "thank you." I do not expect the same, I do it simply because that's the way I am.

    I used to be better at this. Something Jeff wrote a long time ago caused me to cut back, I'm not certain that's a good idea. At the same time, I kind of thought it might be an encouragement to keep repping me, but not what I meant by saying thanks. Sigh. One of those 'can't win for losing.'

    I can't imagine that a simple thank you would encourage anyone to rep more often, but then again, I've never really thought about it. I hope that a thank you would never be the impetus for giving me a rep. I only ask that I be judged by the content of my post, not the color of my text...or something like that...

    Now that made me laugh and I'll rep if possible. BTW, thanks for all rep you've ever given or will give or thought of giving me. Does that cover it?
