Yeah, I can see your point there. With the rep system you can argue it's meaningless or that it's valuable feedback and either side has a case; it's hard to feel strongly about it either way, I just know that I wouldn't disable neg reps on the basis that, if nothing else, it flushes out people who are oversensitive and probably wouldn't be a good fit for the forum. (Or people who are complete and total douches but are too scared to put it out in the open.)

I wonder if this is really a discussion about my own sensitivity. In which case I can say: sure, I could learn to have thicker skin.

That wasn't my intention.
