I wanna see if anyone can top this. Someone started a thread about an article, and had the link in there. I responded that bigsoccer/bigsoccer didn't work. I got neg-repped for that! Needless to say, the jackass didn't have any juice.
i made facetious fun of some frantic poster in one of those random *ESPN is missing the start of an MLS match* threads and got bad repped for 'encouraging their whining'
A bunch of idiots have tried to negative rep me in this thread: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116889 with no effect. I guess they can't handle the truth.
Maybe it was your unoriginal opening lines? Some people just aren't going to get it (Yes, but...) I've been repped for one thing... Monty Python quotes.
Well, now i have to quote myself and say writing that line got me repped. Apparently, sticking to the Python scores big points around here.
I've been repped for, among other things, boasting about my mastubation skills, suggesting that a player sport a mullet and for declaring that my genitalia itches.
I'm reading the Michael Moore/Cannes Film Festival thread and the subject of his considerable girth comes up. Wouldn't you know it--some lamebrain drags El Matador into the discussion. Ya Ya Ya. Enough is enough! I ask if anybody's ever going to leave the man alone. I get repped.
This is what I said concerning the attendance in a DCU match a while back "21,235 is pretty good for paid attendance. I'll admit it didn't look like that much on TV. more like 17,000 at the most. Can anyone from the game lend their opinion?" I got neg repped because this person thought, "You can't tell jack from TV" While this is probably true, It does not merit getting neg repped. I mean people say that in the MLS attendance thread every week multiple times. I demand that my reputation be frozen the way it is and no one can negative or positive rep me ever. Being neg repped is like being rejected, and I have issues with that.
The fact that it's said several times in the MLS attendance thread every week is precisely WHY you got negative rep in this case. People who read those threads every week are sick to death of comments like that. Obviously, whoever negative repped you could easily have let it slide. But when you say things that have annoyed people for years, you run the risk of people being irritated with you. An overly pedantic explanation, but I hope you get it. You were a scapegoat of another poster's cumulative frustrations with "Looked like more/less on TV, Move San Jose, Just another pessimistic attendance prediction from falcon6," and other problems that have plagued what would otherwise be a useful and interesting weekly thread.
You're right in your explanation of this. It just wasn't you typical "Looked like more/less on TV" post, atleast I did not intend it that way. But I should have known the reaction a post like that would get. I just didn't mean it to piss people off. Oh well, another lesson learned I guess.
I don't know if I'm the person that did it, but I've neg-repped for that a few times. Usually I just do it when someone is strident about it.
