Giga,
    While I did not vote negative for your post here, I would tell you the reason for it is because many people most likely feel as if a post with a users name in it, designed to specifically discuss a negative post they made, would be in effect... fueling the fire.

already 2 negative? looks like abuse to me

If you call people "not intelligent enough", "idiots", and "ungrateful bunch of people" it is not an abuse if you get negative reputation votes.

where I am calling people: "not intelligent enough", "idiots", and "ungrateful bunch of people"

THIS IS COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE!

I know your writing is not very good but to make a thread that is teetering on gloating about another member of our community's destruction is wrong.  I know I am going to get a ton of negative feedback, but I do not care.  Was skip crass? ABSOLUTELY!  Did he contribute to our community more positively than negatively?  ABSOLUTELY!  Look through the database sometime and see how many contributions he made.  You will find a lot.  I opposed the rating system from day one as I knew a person or persons on here would band together and go after people they had personality conflicts with.  To those of you congrats, move on to your next target.  To Ken please remove the reputation system and get us some moderators.

I don't believe Giga's post was made to gloat. Just pointing out to some who may not read every forum/thread what has happened to a prolific poster.

To me, it was more of questioning on what happened and why it had come down to this.

If you wanted to post about Skip's post, you simply should have replied to it.  Creating a whole new topic was and is unnecessary.
