Lo and behold a short time later that day I received some back for the first time too - i don't know how many points I got deducted and haven't worked out how you can verify who sent it, despite G's explanation to Susie on this thread...no nasty words but no signature which I think is pretty cowardly. Wrote to Neil about it as the person said i had broken forum rules so was a tad anxious about reprisals but he told me just to ignore whoever it was -which i did...(Thanks again Neil!) I wasn't bothered about receiving the red stuff -just the fact that it was done in a snide way. If you think someone deserves it then at least have the strenghth of your own conviction to sign it when you send it...

Wow Mobertol you've been on here four years and only just had your first red karma? It only took me three weeks. You must be a much nicer person than me!! ;)

How does reputation power relate to karma? Is there an idiot's guide to all this? You see I'm a scientist, I like to find things out.

Under no circumstamces is it cowardly not to sign it, if you have given it right then that will often infuriate the receiver into guessing who gave it to them, then with their petty revenge they remove karma from their suspected culprit, (and of course they sign it because they are better than that person,(not)). Oh how I laugh at their high horse antics when they make the mistake of wrongly accusing me, do I tjen reciprocate? Nah, they've just proved themselves unworthy of a reaction.

Hey Mr. Mod any way of posting this anonomously?
I have a fear of the red stuff this might bring me, both signed & unsigned.

I joined originally to play the Accywebbers quiz against my mum (Aromaanne).

Have made some good friends on here and there's always something interesting to research or read...don't just stick to nostalgia and don't be scared to write what comes to you naturally because of what happened - I cringe at some of the things i've written sometimes -have learned it's best not to go back and read things! Just be yourself and you'll find lots of others with common interests and ties.

I know there's a thread about what you're reading at the moment but have been trying to work out if there was some way to start up a sort of book club on here - i love reading and it would be nice to be able to talk about books to other people... (Margaret is a big reader too I believe...) perhaps it's something to think about.

Keep posting!:hothothot

No red karma from me for this, am so glad to hear from you again - did you receive the green I sent you a while back - cried myself to sleep when it wasn't returned;) Naughty,naughty...

Must go, my friend Gina Loopybrigida needs her daily airing - it is so hard being the most beautiful woman in the world -but someone has to do it....:rolleyes::D I know you are a fan for sure....

I can't decide whether you are being sarcastic to our resident misogynist, or whether you are just misguided.
Either way - thanks for the chuckle.
