I know some here abhor AP postings and this is probably going to be a suicidal post - but I feel I need to say something.

The manner in which an individual went through a thread and slammed so many posters with neg AP's and turned an extremely positive thread to a suicidal one leaves me pondering.

I recently posted to the thread "We can bomb the world ....." and a large number of posters were slammed with negative AP's, including myself. I have no problem with this, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I do believe though if one is going to "dish out the dirt" so to speak, why not explain why you found the posts/thread offensive and thereby educating others on what is and is not the appropriate use for these boards. I feel this borders on an abuse of the AP system.

I for one, would never dish out an AP (neg or pos) without letting the poster know why I feel that way and give them the opportunity to respond .... I have no need to hide behind anonimity - hence this post.

I am new but I can only imagine that this individual must wield some power in the site to be able to do what was done and I may again feel that wrath, but I felt it needed saying - suicidal or not.

Sorry if this post offends anyone, but needed to get it off my chest.

Ok I feel better now......
