Appropriate use of reputation points

[Jessica Boucher]

Any way you slice it, it's still a whole lot better than the old system of self-worth by number of postings.

"The more you know who you are and what you want, the less you let things upset you." - Bill Murray, Lost in Translation

As it's been said before, just keep track of making a solid argument. You can't control how others feel about you, so take the risk and post something substancial. Sometimes people won't like it, but most of the time people will....and eventually the green will overshadow the red.
