| I've changed my mind. I too want back the ability to give negative rep. I will then target all epeeists, mercilessly. Back to the depths of Hades with thee, demons! 
( P.S. Not really. I still have little use for the whole rep phenomenon. ) | |

It's awesome. The give you positive rep, and then since the filters are seemingly off, can write anything.
Sometimes they write really funny things, and it's obvious that it kills them that they are forced to give positive rep, and others, it's just a unimaginative 'You Suck'.
So, here's my plea for the next time I check rep in a couple of months or so:
Be Imaginative People!
I don't know who most of you are (except Inq and RL), so cut loose. I mean, no ones gonna know what you said, and no one (least of all me) really cares, so at least make it worthwhile to read! | Dear Achilleus,
You suck. Your weapon is bent and you are too tall for my taste. I think you have been on a hiatus for far too long and it is time you started fencing again. And finally, you neither participated in the Hottie thread nor did you send me a picture of you in beach wear, so I am certain you aren't really an epeeist at all.
Respectfully submitted,
Anonymous
P.S. Please don't notice the screen name behind this post. I am posting from out of my cloaked on-line personna and don't want you to know who I am.
Thank-you for understanding.
 I hope you are still going to the school prom with me next weekend. And don't forget to vote for me for Prom Queen! | |

( P.S. Not really. I still have little use for the whole rep phenomenon. ) | Of course, the problem with that is that there are more epeeists out there than sabreurs... If all epee fencers can gang up to give each other more rep, then imagine what they could do if negative rep was introduced and they decided to gang up on all sabreurs... A sabreur with a negative rep cannot give negative rep no more.
Not that that should be considered a threat or anything, but I'd think about it before actually going in head down in typical sabre like fashion...

Perhaps we convention weapon can reach a truce of some sort. We'll promise to only ding each other 1/2 as much as we ding the epee fencers.

| Would you be willing and able to stop the others in your group??? ZZ may lose her green with or without your help....If you can influence the rest of the foil and sabre fencers.... do you not think that there may be other sabre and foil fencers with favourite epeeists???
Latenight has declared himself as and Epeeist... I can't see Zelda complying.
In my group of women we do not discriminate based on weapon... I can't see my girls turning against each other.
I can see all sorts of difficulties with this plan my dear…. Best to just let us have our green you don’t want to upset the Queen.
