Signing neg rep

I recently got an unsigned neg rep on a post I made over six months ago. There ought to be a time limit!

On the subject of unsigned neg rep.... I agree that it is brave to sign it but disagree that it is cowardly not to. :)

It is true that I once called a man a coward for not signing a neg rep, but I may have been wrong about the person I thought it was, and also I was still formulating my opinion on the topic at that time. Posting on Jazzfanz is such a tangled web.

It's such a lousy post. But at the same time you know that if you sign that neg rep the person will get some fantastical idea in their mind that they have to get their revenge, so they will start childishly hounding you all over the board.*

I sign neg rep less and less because I'm tired of some the bug**** crazies on this board knowing my name. :)

This reminded me of Archie.

I sign them, but there is a legitimate concern that it just turns into the neg-repped party responding in kind simply for the sake of revenge. I don't think that's what that function is there for, but whatever.

If anyone is seriously concerned about this aspect of it, they really need to move out of their mom's basement and see the sun from time to time. The World of Warcraft can get by without them for an afternoon once in a while.

I don't give neg rep, at least not yet, but get the neg rep revenge all the same. Most I receive are where I'm in a disagreement with someone and apparently they become too uncomfortable, at which time they try to one up me with a negative rep. At least this is what I assume. I always crack a beer and salute their flag with a bravo! for the patriotic effort of defending their honor in such a way. Valiant indeed!



Also, since I don't give neg rep, you can all feel a little more comfortable attaching your name when giving it to me. Thanks in advance. --Love, Franklin.

Ooh, and one last thing, they tend to send multiple private messages telling me how stupid I am and to get over it, then reference the escapade infinitely (not unlike in this thread).
 
I sign all of my rep, regardless of color. More often than not, I get a green response for signing my name. Go figure.

LOL Looking through all my reps I have more from Trout than anyone else. Granted they are equally divided between pos and neg but Trout certainly likes to hand rep out!

I believe it helps the quality of the board. I like to know when people think I'm a dumbass, but I also like to know when they think I should win the webz. It would be interesting, though, to find out how many pos vs. negs I've given out. I bet it's 4 to 1 neg to pos. I'm such a hater.
