Even on trivial subjects - what I wouldn't give for a system which would allow a colleague to point out that I smell particularly like a Frenchman today. But since the ability to do this anonymously doesn't exist, they do not tell me this, and so we all lose out. It's the tragedy of the commons, except with more awkwardness.
well you said it already, if there was actually constructive critisism in the neg rep it wouldn't be such a big deal, but the majority of the neg reps I have are just empty.. not any text in it.. at all.

in the end I'm more in favor of somebody just posting a reply and with that reply they can give rep points to the post they're replying to..

i'm wondering if there's all sorts of drama now between people that know eachother "wth you negrepped me because of that post? I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND" etc.
and with that I wonder if that was the purpose of the mods when they enabled us to see previous anonymous negreps

also, if I knew you I'd tell you you smell like a frenchman if you want

and last but not least:
I got a pos rep from yahwe, which he signed!
I also got a neg rep from yahwe though, which he didn't sign
