I experienced this in much larger quantity than any other member,mostly it was hating but i kinda want to hear out reason.
Reputation doesn't matter yet it kinda matter because you can see which of members respect your topic,so anyone who says that reputation is useless is wrong yes,those are just plain numbers but they show you who likes your topic or dislikes.
Killer has a point,but so does Swickster,nothing is bad about sarcasm,and if it is how everyone says,that they don't care about reputation,WHY BRINGING UP THIS TOPIC? Idea needs some work,but David should check this out.
Some simple minded forum users might find my comment annoying but i still don't care.
