Giving. I am blissfully ignorant of what rep may be and don't care to learn.	3.28%	2	3.28%

If I rep unwisely, that's my cross to bear.

Yeah but, they're getting a bonus by you mistakenly giving them rep in the first place, so they're not really losing anything. They've just had something they think they deserve, and at that time you thought they deserved.

They wouldn't really be paying any penalty if you took away their rep IMO, as they didn't necessarily deserve it in the first place.

Then again, I may be thinking into this too much.
