This is exactly why I rarely give negative rep unless the person is just generally being harassing or offensive and won't listen to anything else. I prefer neutral rep if they are being jerks and occasionally even use pos rep to ask them to chill out.
I'ma paraphrase my friend Santosh, the moment I start caring about dots on the internet I hope someone hits me.
