Reputations

[Firefoot]

And here all of you are, just inflating phantom's ego all the more... *tsk, tsk.* Someone ought to randomly negative rep phantom just to knock him down a few notches. He could use it.

(I wonder if I have to tack a "this is a joke" sign onto that paragraph to make sure no one actually randomly negative reps phantom?)

(Rule #3: Let phantom think everybody adores him - it's good for his self-esteem. And phantom just wouldn't be phantom if he didn't have too much self-esteem.)

Who knows, maybe there's a "Fool of a Took" in there if you get enough bad reps. *Grin*

Actually, Larien, one of the positive ratings (I think it's 50-100 rep points?) is "_____ is no Fool of a Took." So you weren't too far gone, there.

(Now that's how you really make a thread on topic. )

Let me point out phantom's sig.

But let's leave him be, he's an eccentric chronic liar who's so egotistical that he's openly admitted that he's trying to trick us

And I did not say I supported random 'negging'; I said giving negatives, with reason, will keep people from becoming, well, arrogant...

Yes. A trait more and more common these days, even among the older, more experienced ones. ~Yoda

Oh I fully realize that you are full of hot air and yourself phantom . I just wanted to say that I don't agree with your hot air approach. And I realize that Gurthang didn't fully back up you point but it was something fairly close and that's why I posted my opinion of rep.

I just came upon this thread... well, it's not like I dug it up, it's been sitting in front of my face for some time now... but anyway...

I'm lost as to this reputation thing. I'm assuming it's the little green boxes by our names, but I have no clue how people rate me or how to rate others. I remember on the old board there were the bones that you could give people, another rating system. But, how do you rate someone? Not that I'm going to, because I've never been one to judge people, but I'm curious. Perhaps I should read the last...err... however many pages long this thread is, to find out, but I'm feeling unmotivated at the moment.

Hah.. I probably lost some reputation just with this post. Ah well. I used to be scholarly, honest...before my hiatus from the boards. You'd have to go back a ways to find my good posts, I think. I've been tainted by the mutating threads on the boards at my site.

ETA: Ah ha! I've figured it out! I'm pretty clever when I put my mind to it. Wow, it's neat (yes, I did just say "neat") how you can leave comments and stuff with it. I shall start using this now. Time to put on my scholars hat and take a dive again! I appreciate that some liked my Eowyn post... I've been most scholarly about her lately, but it's hard not to learn a lot about a character when you build a site for her. I am quite opinionated about her
