I bet that the AP system was made with good intentions but its becoming more a nuisance now that people are abusing it. I'm not gonna name any names. There is almost no purpose to the system anyways because points shouldnt be based if you agree with a statement or not. People are allowed to have different opinions and they should not be criticized by other people. Even though the points system might have been started to allow users to compliment the author in making a statement that was well thought out, most people just use the system for either vendetta or just to flame. I think that AO would do just fine without the AP system.
