Luanne Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ... negative rep points to people anymore. There is one person on here who would be getting the maximum from me. I was just doing a search of a curriculum I was considering doing for self-education and someone on there was completely and totally out of line with their comments. SHEESH! You expect people to be actual adults on here, but clearly that doesn't always happen. End of rant! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Of course, now I'm trying to figure out who it is. :tongue_smilie: I know it's not me (at least not this time,) because I don't think I have ever posted about a curriculum that I wanted to use for myself. At least I don't think I have... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

besroma Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Okay, now I am wondering too, but I am too tired to play sleuth tonight! Is it just me, or does anyone else sense a kerfluffle brewing tonight? Between this and the produce bagging thread...... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If the person is breaking forum rules (like you are, btw) then click the little red exclamation point in the corner and report the post to the moderators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jujsky Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm glad we can't give or receive them. There's too much room for nastiness and people giving negative points to people if they have a personal vendetta against them. It could make things ugly. I think when I joined here they either got rid of them shortly before or shortly after I joined because there was a big thing about it.

Element Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I totally remember the plowing a damp field thread. Didn't SWB actually chime in on that one or am I thinking of something else? Is this negative-point-worthy person just a plebeian among us or are we talking about a curriculum writer? I've seen a couple of those post some questionable stuff in the past year. FWIW, I'm really thankful we don't have points. I'd never even heard of them before this thread. For the love of all that is good, please don't ever give us grammar/punctuation/excessive commas and semicolons points. I would not fare well.

Bang!Zoom! Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Triple word score for using Plebeian, I had to look that up::lol: ple·be·ian [pli-bee-uhn] Show IPA adjective 1. belonging or pertaining to the common people. 2. of, pertaining to, or belonging to the ancient Roman plebs. 3. common, commonplace, or vulgar: a plebeian joke.

Unfortunately, you might have to lower your expectations. This board is not a lot different from others. People can be much more brazen with the anonymity of the internet.

Luanne Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 I was just doing a search (considering possibly using a curriculum) and was aggrevated by the way someone was bashing someone connected with said curriculum. I personally was not involved in the conversation (thread). It was from a few months back. I do not know anything about the person who was doing the bashing (other than now I have a certain feeling about this person). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
