Conversation Between Chris and smokelessfire

i abhor this reputation thing, and hope it will be discontinued. if someone disagrees with you, instead of just saying so, and stating their case, they can "rep" you, with a bad rep, and you can't defend yourself. then future members may look at the rep and judge you wnworty of listening to or talking to, based on that crap. its a weasely thing to do, and much unappreciated. again, i hope you will discontinue its use, or please pass this on to the highest authority of this site. thank you.
