i didn't mean anything out of the way by this but i guess it was taken as so--as someone gave me a negative rep point--all i ment was its funny as hell how the same person that was trying to get a refund from uncle bill was also trying to trade me the knife

Seriously guys, I wonder why you even care for the rep points ? It's kinda stupid, dont you think ? I'm probably getting a red one now

Semper Fi said:"You can't please all of the people all of the time"
I wouldn't sweat it. I got a red one over in W&C once because I indicated I was fond of firearms and bombs. I mean in W&C for Crimminey's sake! I was too redneck I guess.
Go figure.
Semp
ROFLMAO!!! That's the Semper Fi we know and love...
Yiterp - Some folks will give red as a simple not agree (or even as a joke/jab)...I'd assume that's all it was. If they felt strongly they'd have left a messsage with it or signed it so it could be talked out. I've had more than one myself...but probably not from anyone I respect since they would have emailed me and chewed my a$$ off directly!
If it matters to anyone, You can go to the higher paid levels and see who left what and ask them.
Bet some might be surprised you can find out...

I have both received and have given negative rep points. It's at least a 20 to 1 ratio, though.
But think of it this way:
A neg rep point lets the person know that you disagree with them without causing a ruckus on the forum.
I wonder what would happen if instead of FLAMING the trolls, we all decided to RED-SQUARE them to death.
Passive resistance, you know what I mean?
I once got a red, no explanation. I understand being miffed about something like that. Wish I knew...but oh well, I got over it.
I have been surprised by some's reactions to red squares in their reps......like richard & Semp said....I wouldn't worry about it too much.
