phaolo: In theory I'd agree, but if the guy has been a a**hole in 200 posts and not in 10 and he hasn't even changed attitude.. who cares about those 10 undeserved downreps (also some posts appear tame out of contest, due to the stupid auto-deletion).
Well, like I said - I havn't seen all of his posts (
most seem to be in threads, I don't read), and from the ones I have seen, I know he can be very insulting.
And in that case: press minus - like I do.
BUT: I have seen posts of him, where he was helpful to (
new) users with a question, and others, where he was one of the more rational posters in a thread, and still - his posts got downrepped.
Now, if you think, downvoting his "good" posts, just because he also made (
lots of) "bad" posts is fair... well, I have to say, I disagree.
