On a politically correct level, it helps us state our opinions on the matter.
However, differing opinions happen and can be abused with a system that anonymously states. Or it could be abused in general.
Neg rep is a good feature to have, but 'overly fond' of it because someone stated an opinion is absurd. It should only be used to prevent trollish behavior or constant flames. As Triple R has noted.
Negative reputation should be by the individuals shortcomings, as they would be flamers or trolls. However, that isn't the case. Most people that are negative repped are simply stating an opinion of theirs, or the reality of the situation.
A good system to have, that is easily abused. I say keep the positive rep, remove the negative. If there are trolls or flames, then we can simply use the report button. It isn't that difficult, in my opinion.
