    Why not? It provides a measure of how "good" a response is: that lets people decide whether to post something in a similar way. It allows people to see how "good" or "bad" an answer is likely to be: A high Authority reputation implies that it comes from someone who does know his stuff. It also provides a mechanism where we can tell that other people think "this is a pillock, avoid him" (negative rep) or "This guy knows what he is talking about" (positive rep) without having to remember each and every single one of the nearly 8 million members...

                      I agree as well as dis-agree. We must be lenient to new members and must not down-vote them, unless they have reached a specified level of (say 2000 rep points. and reluctant to posts by troll and similar as we are now to others who have been here for some long time.

                                          Don't you know the ancient and secret pictorial alphabet of Emoticon? It roughly translates into "I can't even be bothered to phrase some coherent words and therefore throw some random symbols. Please ignore my attempts to communicate with you since my communication skills are not sophisticated enough to have a proper conversation with you." :)
