rep points are dumb as hell. it's not like you're going to get banned if you have a shitload of negative reps. you dont get any prizes for having the most rep points either. so why bother having it? negative reps just means that people cant deal with the fact that there is such a thing as limited free speech, so they try to get the person banned because said person pissed them off. Grow the fuck up. So what if somebody offends you, deal with it. positive rep points only prove that you have nothing better to do than be a board-whore. If you can get a lot of anonymous strangers to like you over the internet, why not try it out in real life? E-friends can do things like drive you to work when your car breaks down, or give you discounts on services/stores. E-friends can fix things for you. You can't see a concert with an E-friend. With +reps, you will develope cliques...the same group of people all giving each other points because the same group of people are on each other's nuts. I could give a fuck if i get any type of rep points...i am not here to impress any of you.
