you should write in the comment box why you disapprove. For example if I said "Hispanics all have junky cars in their yards", Fred could hit me back and say: "That comment was a big racial stereotype". That would pretty much sum up why he left me negative feedback....

Just seems like it would be more fair to NOT require something if it's anonymous. Some people here can be easily picked out by what they say just as well as if they put a sig on it.

If they want you to know why they'll tell you.

Not sure how a one liner could identify the poster. I guess you could always just throw them for a loop and type "I Love Republicans" instead, if yer worried about being identified.

I don't use it so it doesn't really matter. But since you bring it up... since it's anonymous but people tend to sign it anyway, couldn't someone just as easily sign someone else's name to it?

That wasn't REALLY supposed to be a suggestion. Just a concern.

You're just worried I'll give positive rep to someone you clash with and they'll go thinking you're a fan!!

I like the rep system just like it is. I'll probably never have the rep that some of you "old timers" have, in part because of my late start, and in part because of being in the relative minority around here politically, but whatever. It's been my experience that people dish out the rep points appropriately and fairly. No complaints here.

Also, I didn't realize the reps were anonymous. I assumed my signature or whatever was automatically attached.
