I never required anyone to read through every single word. Just skimming over it should do in less than a minute.
But never mind those anon negreps. They aren't exactly worth my blood pressure sky rocketing, just that it isn't fair to the more sensitive posters who oversaid something and got a negrep with dumb commentary.

You do realise in all your posts you are simply finding side effects that would benefit you, not benefit the community since you mostly favor everything that: a) gives you more positive reputation b) minimizes negative reputation, with no regard to archiving any balance in the system. Your suggestion earlier merely favors trolls for example and works with the reasoning that everyone on the forum gets 90% of the time negative reputation (which is ridiculous).

What I intend to put across is that by "respecting" someone is to "accept" them for who they are and not exactly what they write. The point is that even if they post like a dumbass, we just ignore those posts rather than negrepping them.
My suggestion earlier doesn't work with a reason like that, but rather what I perceive to be a flaw in the system. Which is why I said the system is pretty good minus the anonymity.
I find the word trolling rather subjective because it can be used to discredit people who had trouble getting ideas across clearly (lack of language strength, or the reader's lack of knowledge), resulting in some form of gobbledygook judged as a Random Useless Comment. It is either you ignore or correct him, not a difficult choice to make.
