The next person to abuse the Rep system by giving neg rep as a way of 'getting back' will get a nice red blob from me.
Treat people how you want to be treated regardless of how they treat you. It costs nothing, and gains you respect from others.

Huh! Don't talk to ME about "bitching". I've seen it all before ... on far too MANY occasions ... in my lifetime. And d'you know the worst offenders? Church members, I'm sorry to say. Yes, it's true ... and that's straight from the :Horse1:'s mouth, having been a regular churchgoer virtually all my days.
I found this out to my cost during a period I spent as Weekend Church Officer [aka the 'Kirk Beadle', in Scotland]. Against my better judgement, I agreed to take on the role, even though I'd long had my suspicions about what quite commonly went on behind the scenes - the backbiting, hair-splitting and gossip -among folk who purported to be so-called 'Pillars of Society'. Rumours abounded ... along the lines of "Did you hear about Jimmy Brown? he's being voted off the finance committee ..." or "Maggie Walker stormed out of last Tuesday's Womens' Guild Meeting because she wasn't pleased about (something or other)" and so on ... ad in finitum! All of which [un-Christianlike behaviour] I had the misfortune to be unwittingly privy to. To be perfectly honest, I'd seen more harmony in a school playground. Moreover, as an office bearer myself, it placed ME in an awkward situation, since I couldn't [nor wouldn't] "take sides" even if I had wanted to.
Suffice to mention that, after serving three and a half years in this capacity, I was glad to step-down.But the whole experience was a real eyeopener.
