The reputation system on here is a bit sad IMHO.
Just another excuse for some of the regulars on here to throw their weight around, tell new contractors how wrong they are etc. And generally confirm this forum as being a bit of an unfriendly place.
In fact, I'm sure there's people on here who get some sort of sexual arousal from being so negative all the time. Sort of their chance to have a go at someone and get a feeling of power from it. Perhaps they lack this in real life. I dont know?
So I've got a negative rep because I ask and discuss things on here which others dont like. Tell you what, please add me to your ignore list. Its not as if I'm coming round your house, knocking on the door and making you listen to my questions, is it? Its the internet, you dont have to read it!
Now my mission to try and get as negative a rep as possible !!!!
