Reputation Reminders

[Estelyn Telcontar]

top red, bottom green

Thank you both; I just want to confirm what I was seeing.

It's good to see that Inziladun and Estelyn have confirmed alatar's comment to me, that there is indeed a red rep there. I was suspecting the old boy had fallen prey to Deuteranopia.

Instead, it appears that my attempt to give al a positive rep fell upon a hard time, if not a wrong button.

Could some kindly Admin type Downer please repair the frightful damage done to alatar's rep by replacing the red rep button with a green one and adding the lost point to his rep count? I'm sure he will be relieved and obliged if this could be done, to say nothing of the public scourgings that he has prepared for me.

Thanking the Admins kindly. I will forthwith make an appointment to correct my occularly challenged sight.

Admins - there is no need to take any action. I will cherish this red rep for as long as it lasts as it will always remind me of Bethberry's red face.

You're assuming a bit much, as it's an easy mistake to make in a hurry. Why, I have a neg rep from an Admin--only it's blue/grey on my monitor--which I assume is a mistake because the comment that came with it is positive. It's no big deal.

What is interesting, though, is the fact that you gloat over someone's assumed discomfort or embarassment, especially when it arose over a generous attempt to publicly acknowledge a good post of yours.

Wait, so if an Admin gives negative rep it shows up as blue/gray?

This is probably a, um, grey area. More than likely it's my monitor that differs from those of others, which is why alatar felt compelled to produce Exhibit A for my enlightenment and not deglutition.

No. We are not red-baiters up here.

Much agreed. It's been a slow news day.

I apologize; had the ability to attach an image to a PM existed, this would not have been here, as well as your subsequent explanation of the issue.

Again, for more disclosure, what I personally thought amazing was that, after receiving this kind and generous rep from Bb, and thanking her for it via PM, it took *weeks* for me to notice that it was red, as obviously I knew that she meant it to be green (though it's now she may be seeing red, and not just on my cheeks). And I pretend to be observant.

Aren't you glad you started reading this?
