Just one more way he talks out of both sides of his mouth. Cries about it in his sig but does it just the same.

That's a good point actually.  

Pirky would give negative reputation  to me for replying to his posts with an opposing opinion.  That's wrong.  Don't post your opinion unless you're okay with people clicking the reply button and saying they think you're wrong.  Instead, reply back to them saying they are wrong.  Or leave it alone.

You got negative reputation from me yestersay because you tried to change the subject from politics and politicians to me.  That's wrong too, totally different but also wrong. But then again here I am talking about you.  And honestly I wouldn't be complaining if you changed the subject to me just to tell everyone how great you think I am and how right you think I am.

So I get why it comes across as hypocritical to you but I'm not intending to apply rules to you that I wouldn't apply to myself. 

What's reputation for anyhow?
I think its to avoid derailing threads with personal conflict. If someone's joke seems out of place in a serious thread, or they start attacking other posters, that's what it's for. Give negative reputation instead of derailing the thread further. Positive feedback is for good writing or original insights. But there's no harm in simply replying with positive feedback too.
