Therefore, if you have just one person "trolling" you with red rep, it shouldn't really make much difference overall. If you get a lot of red rep, maybe you earned it.

Now, instead of just walking a line to be sure you don't blatantly break forum rules and get an infraction, you also need to think about how people will react to your posts. I think it's brilliant. Plus, it's nice to be able to point out to someone their resemblance to the hind end of a mule, in a way they can't just delete and forget.
I like to be able to red rep stupid people. I've red rep sparingly (After the first day at least), and the last person I red repped was WN1 Hit to try to get his 7 rep bars down to 6 so I can lol at him.
