Of course, I don't openly take names like you do, but I think for your case I should next time, and forever always :D
And once again, you prove ME right that you actually do think I care about my rep. Honestly, its the fact that someone can use the neg rep system wrongly like this that I gather data, not for my ego. No one -has- to think the way you do, dst -_-
Individual links are not data...?
Right, so why can't I go and "reconsider later" (as you said) and go about neg repping dst's last 200 posts, deciding that they are stupid? Why not, its my wish to use it however I like, right? In this case too, you'd have to decide whether my reason that "I find her posts stupid" is valid or not, but you'll most probably decide its not because its obvious I'm spamming. When its not too obvious, you can't/refuse to make that decision? Why?
Its just my manner of speaking, Chewy, I cannot help it. You and dst may find it stupid or offensive at times, but I don't, because I never mean it, and anyone really who actually takes a liiiittle time to understand will realize this too. And the fact that dst is solely against this part of me, and choose this part of me as a reason to dislike me and a reason to ignore/dislike the actual content of my post, is the exact reason I will remain adamant and continue to be as I am.
