    Yeah, me. But I think Drathzel is quite capable for standing up for herself. As is Mr Harper.

    You are right. But, in posting her feelings about this matter it seems to me that Drathzel was asking for our support. And thats what I've given


    You are also right about Mr Harper - and I like to give him plenty of opportunities to stand up for himself

    My comment wasn't aimed at you or anyone in particular, I just had been saying that the comments are more significant to me than the points - and likewise I know that when anyone has been upset by neg rep its often the comments that have upset them - they have sometimes been personal and nasty. I haven't recieved any like that myself, so was just saying that in general, everyone should think about the comment they write with the rep and not just say things like 'You're stupid'. I'm not saying no-one should ever neg rep or give constructive critiscm (though I don't make a habit of it myself).

    Andy, you've hit the nail on the Head (poor nail! )

    Also by putting it on the thread i gave the person in question the opertunity to come back to me and explain.

    Agreement with Lynn

    I feel that i was unfairly given the rep. For silly reasons. I believe in neg rep but not for the reasons of grammar/spelling/punctuation.

    Re: Power

    Has it ever been tried on this forum that members post a photograph of themselves rather than the current avatars? I wondered if it might make it that bit more difficult to unthinkingly give negative rep or comments that are upsetting because you're more aware that you're commenting on a person with feelings? What do people think?

    It might also lead to extra dances with forumites, in case we don't know who we all are ... which, I guess could be a good and a bad thing...

    From all my experiences in dancing with other forumites when I meet them - a very good thing! (though it might not be quite the same the other way round! )

    The world would be so very dull if we always agreed with each other.

    I agree and i did say i was not against neg rep but for something a petty as grammar etc..... we are living in a world were some people cant even read or write and people are worried about grammar. Mmmmm mixed up priorities i think!

    You can post an image on your profile page. My avatar picture was taken a few years ago but it still looks quite like me. But I disagree, just because you can see someones picture it doesnt mean they have feelings. 82% of the people on here are mindless automatons . (Thats why they 'unthinkingly' post rubbish) (which i would never do) (obviously)

    Don't you need a new image ... I mean, your hat has gone out of fashion ... and all the best people are pink now! Blue is so last year! One of the reasons I suggested having photographs here is because I'm on another forum (with 8000 posts a week) and it has been helpful there in keeping things 'nicer'

    My avatar is a true likeness - and it's pink. But that hasn't stopped people giving me negative reputation. And I don't really mind getting negative reputation when I can learn from it - although sometimes I learn what a twerp the person who gave me the negative rep is
