I think your post is right on the money - whether you meant to or not, you have grasped what the rep system is about on this forum
when someone earns a bad reputation on this forum its very easy for people to go back and search that persons posts, and see the tone or attitude of the way they communcate
once someone has checked out a persons background to see why they have the rep they do it, then yes, it absolutely WILL affect the way they react to your posts.
The Chief Delphi forum IS a social interaction - its a new and unique form of human interaction too, because you cant see the persons face you are communcating with, and a ton of expressive information is missing. Its very easy for ten different people to read a post and come away with different impressions, because those visual communcation clues are absent.
