Today is a great day. I got red rep because I give away free stuff!! I guess you can't satisfy everybody. I'm sure that the day I post : 'I'll give you some PHP scripts for free AND I'll pay you 5 bucks for it", I'll get red rep from someone... Very strange planet indeed...
Is it because you asked for a rep in return? If you did, that's probably why (some people see it as begging for a rep..)
There are different types of People and you can't really satisfy everybody even though if you are giving away something for free. You can call it a jealousy or whatever but it shows the maturity of the person (red Repper ) and DP is full of such people. EDIT: 8everything is right too (if that's the case)
Don't make me wrong. I don't care about red rep... And I understand that if you say you like 'Starsky & Hutch", you'll get green from "Starsky & Hutch" fans and red from those who hate them. So you can't satisfy everybody... On the other hand, for free stuff...??...But that's all right I move on...
the reps don't matter, though sometimes it makes you feel good stop thinking about it, and go ahead! you will get a lot more of rep points as you keep posting useful threads!
I'll just forget about it if I were you. Reps are really nothing. They're just mere green blobs. --Joe
