Its not the quantity of reps but the quality of those who rep you that matters. IMHO.

In other news I'm too horny to even post on AF much lately.

You CAN type with one hand if you have to, you know!

Not when I might run into Vorlon.

Always taking the nice approach - or at least trying. That's why I respect you. But I find that approach cheesy. Usually it's pretty obvious who's liking whom by looking at the posts or knowing about PM conversations. That's what I like most. People just talking to each other and either respecting or rejecting each others because of what they stand for.

I do hand out reps, but like you, I prefer giving simple respect in the thread more. That's how friendships eventually grow. I have a hell of a lot of respect for a hell of a lot of folks here

For me at least, repping people is a way for me to recognize someone's uniqueness and show my appreciation for it. Regarding the reps that I have received from others, IMO, they show me that I can meaningfully contribute to this community, and that in someone's opinion (rather than relying on my own), I've actually been helpful and interesting.

Then don't do it. There is a whole range of possible reactions to people who do not deserve your love. Let them earn it.

Oh, right, rep thread. Everyone give me rep or else I'll do absolutely nothing about it.

Also, Min cheated. He has more reps than there are people. And he's atheist so he can't use Aquinas to explain it.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

When reps are outlawed, only outlaws will have reps
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
