Bad rep?

[hotrod4]

Have just received bad rep due to one of my posts in a thread.
Can someone please read what i have posted in the "kevin mcleod enquiry" thread and explain where i have directed any comment directly at any individual on the .org?
The bad rep was because they think it was directed at them I can assure you it wasnt,I made a general comment on my opinion.(maybe paranoia is creeping in :) )
What small minded people we seem to have now.
Noticed last week that bad rep was getting thrown around like sweeties, seems to be the in thing now, its a shame and a bad reflection on todays society.
I wont name the individual concerned as there not worth my typing skills!!!!

Having a quick look at the thread, I would say you were having a swipe at people in general who have spoken badly of this case, but I don't know what you are referring to at all as I have never read any previous posts on the subject. As I said 2 weeks ago on a similar post, the rep system is not only to say you like a post it is also there to say you do not agree so people should be given the right to say when they feel negatively about a post without it becoming a war of PM'S or having to justify themselves on the board for not liking a post.

Yes it was a "general" comment not aimed at anyone in particular.
it wasnt the bad rep it was the nature with which it referred that i was looking for an argument when all i did was make a statement like a "told you so" that backed up my posts in the removed thread.
Thanks anyway for the reply your opinion and explanation was spot on.

I was always of the feeling that neg repping was considered petty by most org members and reflected more on the senders lack of ability to hold a reasoned argument in the public domain.

The old 'if you can't say something good..etc.'

The facility is there but a lot of us feel it is a failure of our own to resort to using it.

I would have thought that if someone was dishing out bad rep. then common courtesy would dictate that an explanation of why would have been included?
