In Respectful Response to Anonymous

This is to the anonymous individual who left me this truly inspiring message on my Rep tracker:

"Your pointless lists killed my cat. Please stop."

Well... there's really only one way to respond to that. Or.. actually... a list of ways to respond...

* There's actually a list that can help you with that; the 80's book "101 Uses for a Dead Cat."

* Actually, it wasn't my list. It was all the Animal P**n on your Favorites list. It was scared to death by what it thought that might mean for its future.

* It's not my fault your cat had a gimped build.

* It's my understanding that cat's have a Self-Rezz inherent power with 9 charges, so what are you complaining about?

* It's not all dead; it's only MOSTLY dead.

* I know it's a hard loss... but at least you have the other 83 cats in your house to comfort you through this trying time.

* Sorry, but your dog made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

* All things considered; apparently it was a mercy killing.

* I was framed! It was the hamster I swear! He's evil incarnate; don't let his little dance fool you!

* If it didn't die as a result of being beaten with a rotten-cottage-cheese-filled whiffle bat wielded by a grown man dressed in a pink tutu and oversized purple clown shoes while Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker played in the background at 72 rpm and a chorus of rabid howler monkeys provided the vocals.... then it wasn't me.

* Your mother can provide me with a rock-solid alibi.

* One small question... if your cat hates my lists so much... well... why was it reading them?


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

:\ See I think people who leave crap like that should also leave their names.

You could just offer to send him a new one?

Since I am terribly allergic to cats, please post more lists.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

So are the grey box ones in the rep list the negative ones? If so I have two truly baffling ones with no comments.

Negative ones should have red boxes. Maybe there's a way to give neutral reputation...

Oh, someone's repped me up. To the Vulgarmobile!

You all suck duck's eggs!

So, I got this comment the other day: "I have to spread reputation before I can give some to Steelclaw."

So there ya go.

If you go to the post that's been repped and click on your little rep thingy, the grey ones say 'your rep is even' or something. I figure it means someone gave a plus and some gave a neg...

'Tis a guess though.

I was referring to SwellGuy's comment about the "Latest Reputation Received" you can see in your Control Panel. When someone gives you positive reputation, the comments show up with green boxes next to them. Negative ones have red boxes. And SwellGuy was getting gray boxes for some reason.

Nope. It means the rep-giver was too low to register even a single point shift one way or another.

I tested this on my wife's account. She has zero reputation and 3 posts. When I repped my account from hers, I get the grey dot.

well in my case I left a rant of all my posts this was a 1st for me and I gor crucified for it now I deserved the neg rep what I thought was hypocritical was all the nasty coments I mean they were yelling at me for having a bad attitude and being negetive with comments like

your stupid stop posting

I hear CO is taking anyone you should leave traitor "this guy is nuts my whole rant was about how much I love cov and hate some of the changes"

anyway there were more I'll spare you the really ugly ones, and one guy seems to have made me his new hobby.

now after this rant I apologised in forum for not being as productive and or tactful as I should have been, and a few people were quick to praise my attempt to make right.

still I have this one person that will not identify hiself but continues to hit me verbally.

I keep hearing that while the rep comments are Anonymous to you, they aren't to the Moderators, and action like what your describing from your 'fan' is reportable.

And it works both ways; a grey jellybean with no comment was meant to be positive, since you're forced to leave a comment with negative rep. I've also gotten grey jelly beans with comments that were obviously meant to be negative.

Ooh, is that how I do it?

I even set up a forum game to lower my rep, but nobody wants to play.

Bad news for all the people who asked me to send them a Disassembled Cat. I'm all out of kits. You might be the lucky ones, since they seem to turn out like this when you try to build one:

That, my dear, is because there are people on here with the social skills of rabid weasels high on angel dust, and IQ scores lower than whale poo. If nothing else, applaud their bravery, because it takes a great deal of courage to so boldly wave one's inferiority complex in everyone's face, especially in a venue as public as an online forum.

So pay no attention to that dork behind the curtain.
