        It's kinda like Fight Club - the first rule of Fight Club is do not talk about Fight Club. If you say ANYTHING about reputation points, people get offended, even if it's congratulating someone for achieving some arbitrary line in the sand. When I congratulated the top points earner for finally getting 500K points, I was 1-voted back to the stone age. The absurd part of all this is that the site owner implemented reputation points as a way to compel people to participate more, yet when they get 1-bombed for mentioning the points in a favorable light, and management doesn't appear to give a shit. So, the logical question is "Why participate?" Why even advocate for the site? You get nothing but unfettered abuse for doing so.

          And so should you… Enjoy 5-votes you are gathering because your contribution, programming skills and in the case of the Lounge you sense of humor. The uncalled one-voters can go to elephant themselves. Of course of plenty of your messages are bombarded with 1-s without any particular reason you have to react, but I don’t think it happens a lot these days. And of course there is that mob mentality. If you get a single one-vote on some controversial message, this most likely will attract some individuals who like the feeling to be a part from the “torches and pitchforks” party but otherwise wouldn’t be the first to downvote.

                    Can we put this as an example for future progressive tense in the third grade’s grammar textbooks? :)
