This post some how got deleted so I am trying it again.

What is the most rep (positive or negative) you have received for one single post?

I was given 4 positive and 4 negative for this post:

Merry Christmas!!!!

I would really like to hear all of your opinions as to why this post was so bad it was given 4 negative rep votes.

Silly question, but why was the last such thread deleted? I do remember it, and it was fun reading.

I think it was a system problem and some threads got deleted during some upgrading.

Anyway, I don't have problems getting multiple rep in a thread.

My rep tends to come in pairs. I have 4 threads with 2 reps each. Sooo...I really don't have any exceptional posts, I guess.

Oh...and you know what I think about thread Kodor...god, if I get started, I will end up with some bad reps myself

Mine so far has been the USB-2 vs Firewire 400 thread. I think I got 8 positive reps in less than 1 day.

Just curious? Did you get any Negative from that? I have ran into a few people here and there who are so anti FireWire for some reason, they totally disagree with us on the FW VS USB2.

Nobody is forced to read a post or thread, so what I don't get is how a negative concept (red pips) can be appropriate when someone doesn't agree with you passing on facts or comparing something against another thing.

Now if someone is abusive or deliberately misleading, being a smart*ss or even cruel ... then that's a good time for the handing out of smacks, IMHO.

so is anyone going to chime in here on their opinion as to why that post of mine upset so many people?

People just get a little over sensitive with stuff like that KoDorSean. I myself can't understand it - All you did was try to include everyone, of any or no particular religion.

Perhaps there are a few Fascists lurking about...

I'll have a go... (Could be dodgy - best advice - stay away from anything to do with religion in a forum...)

EDIT <snip> </snip>

Why might you have got positive? Because you pointed out that not every one celebrates Christmas - very true.

Why negative? Because you took something away from another religion.

To be honest, I don't know why you got negative rep on that one. I do however disagree with the post but not enough to leave negative rep. The original poster was wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone. If you do not celebrate Christmas, then the thread was not for you. I'm not try to exclude you but if someone starts a Happy Birthday KoDorSean thread, I don't think anyone would suggest changing the title to Happy June 6th Everyone.

Also, as I said in my post in that thread, just because there are other holidays around that time of year doesn't mean saying Merry Christmas is wrong. Long story short: Celebrate whatever you wish as long as you grant others the same privilege. Anyway, that's My opinion on the matter. And yes I did get negative rep on that post and will probably get some on this one but it will just motivate me to help others more so that I can get more positive rep to knock the red off the list.
