If some one says something stupid or in bad taste then why not bad rep them, yes, then they might question why it happened and they can then post with a bit more thought in the future. There are far too many 'happy nicey nicey' reps being given recently, and it seems for just logging in you can get some from some members

Giving to receive is also not what the system is for... so just because you give don't go pm'ing people because you never got it back!!
