Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Dave, my previous was not directed at you at all, Eru forbid

It was kind of, um, general lathspelling sort of forecast

I haven't stopped repping on that ground - to an extent I have given too much of it in the last 24 hours and have to try later. But the point is, what is it I rep for? - some post pleased me, one, and in return I want to please author of the post, two. What I wanted to stress upon is that to be pleased and to please are things good, but not the end in itself. One has to hold one's priorities firmly - it is repute for writing still, but let us be wary lest it becomes writing for repute soon, if you follow my meaning, kind sirs

On the other hand, perhaps I'm just a bit moody this evening, and nothing more...

cheers
