Do you own a mirror, just kidding big shooter

I may be way off base here but seems like the thumbs up thing is more of a light hearted way to let your opinion be know without posting. The reputation system seems to be more serious because there are repercussions for receiving bad ones.
I would like to see a thumbs down button and make all rep points be of a non anonymous nature. Damn that is worded so poorly I had to look and see if I had a Bison shirt on.
your mirror is defective

Here is a good example of why I dont particularly like the negative rep thing....
Trying to get a good positive thing going for everyone who wants to participate, and someone dings me for it.... Oh well, it wont ruin my day!!!
No idea who sent it, but by reading some of the posts above, you can probably guess.
I will say one thing about the Bad Rep, I think it's BS that it can be done anonymous.
re·tal·i·a·tion
rəˌtalēˈāSH(ə)n/
noun
- the action of harming someone because they have harmed oneself; revenge.
"protectionism invites retaliation"
how many times have you seen people on NDA ask "alright, who's the jerk who gave me negative rep?"
what do you think they'd do if they found out who it was? yep - negative rep right back
same reason you don't put your name on votes - to allow freedom to state an opinion without fear of repercussions/harassment
Thanks for the negative rep Lycan. BTW, I have not given you any negative rep yet. Even for this dumb thread.
That's a risk I'd be willing to take if I ever leave bad rep.
I feel yeah bud it's better to give and the to receive. That's only pertaining to the topic at hand nothing else.I gave someone a positive rep a while back. Signed my name. He was a target with a couple bad reps from folks so I thought he needed help and has been a long time contributor. Even signed my name but not one word back from him..:;:huh
Serious question, how do check my rep points?
