The rep system is just a conformity indicator. Make a post that most people agree with it may get pos-repped, even if it is poorly written and full of grammatical errors. Make a post that goes against popular opinion and it
will be neg-repped with no mercy, even if it is grammatically perfect, well written and well thought out. Most people on this board have no respect for opinions that don't mirror their own and use the rep system to express their displeasure anonymously.
Be glad to be an individual, rather than a sheep following the GD shepherd. You have something to add to a discussion rather than just reposting what has been said already to earn you a green blob for toeing the line.
