I know you got negged for this and the opening poster was asking for all his, but I agree with you, though not so much manning up as folks actually entering a grown up debate as this is after all a message board, and all the best debates are had when folk actually reply to /debate various points made and not just go straight for the red button.
It doesn't bother me that they hit the red button, but please give a reply to be debated or even just so the poster you are replying to can see things differently, which they maybe hadn't seen before and they’re not going to do so if you don't reply!
Reply and neg I haven't a problem with.

That's why I said 'some', exactly my thinking on the subject!

What is it with these needy, whiny moaning moaners who dish out negs, because they know better than anybody else ?

Whilst I'd like to think my indifference underlined how most forumites realise even hundreds of red numbers make no impact whatsoever.
