Don't be picking me out of the crowd just because you don't agree with my opinion. You do it with practically every single post I make concerning the forums.

Your tone seemed to indicate otherwise, as does your history of taking every opportunity imaginable to ***** about staff decisions and/or harass staff.
My tone? This is the internet. There ISN'T any tone. You just like to read into my words and assume what you want to believe they mean because of your past experience with me. So kindly your stupid personal problem with me to PM, please. I have no care to waste my time *****ing with you on the forums.

We should be able to rep ourselves.

What crowd? You're the second person that responded in the negative.

And you're damn right I'm going to try to counter people's points when they don't make any sense to me. You'll have to forgive me for giving a ****.

The point of a voting process is for people to decide. Not to debate an issue. That was the point of EC's thread.

Ignoring that fact, there's nothing in my word to insinuate any sort of the tone you're presuming I was giving off. What my words said were exactly what they said. You just read into them too much.

Er? EC's thread was also a voting process. And obviously the issue hasn't been fully debated yet, since people are still critiquing each other's reasoning.

The 1,246,858 article count would beg to differ with you.

I would not say that anyone on the planet is in any position to judge the tone of their own words objectively. That said, I already said,

So I'm not sure why you're so defensive.

I don't get it, The Man. Are you just going to keep posting the poll until the result comes out your way? The rep system should just go.

And Fixxxer, this is a message board. A person only stops critiquing someone else's reasoning if he made the last post .

In case you didn't notice, there was a rather important omission from the previous poll, so it hardly counts as fair to eliminate the rep system until all options have been equally weighed, does it?

Because people aren't always going to agree with each other, I shouldn't bother to argue my point? I'm not sure what you're driving at. At least I'd like to know why other people feel as they do; maybe my disagreement will drag some elaboration out of them.

I also find it rather amusing that you address the two of us as if we're different people. Didn't the identical avatar give it away?

The added poll options are marginal. Making rep private would decrease its use to a point lower than it already is. Removing comments actually encourages abuse. Moderating comments creates more work for you, but hey, be my guest .

That's why the new options are silly. If people had reservations to removing the system, they would've voted to keep it, but have made suggestions in the last thread. That's not what most people did, though. Most people just want the system gone.

As to the avs - I should have figured, but I thought maybe you were both just using premade site avs, or something.
