And I gotta clear something else up.

I am a very honest, open person....even if that honesty reveals some of my vulnerabilities.

I quoted some folks in my above post......I wasn't singling any one poster out - I was singling out how those posts differed from the intent of my OP.

My "quote post" post was, admittedly, caused by machoistic pride. I was trying to point out that I was not whining about the neg rep - I just want people to stand by their negs.

I wanted to clear up that me, the OP, was in no way whining that I may have got some - I did, however, just wanna know why.

It's a pride thing.
