Not naming any names, like, but I recently received a negative rep for an ancient post I had completely forgotten about. It was, in all fairness, quite an immature post and I can understand the reason behind it being negative repped on those grounds, but the reason given was basically, "I don't agree with your opinion, therefore you deserve to be persecuted into submission." I may be paraphrasing there, but that was the general message.
Needless to say, I was quite upset by this. What's more, it was not signed, but I do know who gave it to me and will soon be P-Ming said person. I guess the point of this post is to ask, is such neg-repping on basis of "I don't agree with you" allowed? If nothing else, it can't be Netiquette.
Sorry, folks, you can just ignore my ranting, but I was quite hurt by this person who thought it nice to put a red box on my CP because they didn't agree with me.
