bludgeon,

This is just my HO, but I think it would be really neat. . .and prolly conducive to better conversation and understanding another person's point. . .if we would be allowed an opportunity to place a small (one line) reply when you click on the reply to this assignment link in the AOpoints center. At the very least, I know, I know, it's wrong, but it would give us a little bit of an outlet for the negs that we think are irrelevant.
I am sorry Alexzel, I did send you a neg ( To anyone else in this thread, I did Sign it. ) But I do stand on my belief that this type of post by a newbie would be up in flames by now.

As stated by Fakeboy:

And we see the effect of double standards here. If you were in fact a newbie, that was crying over NEGS, this thread would be suicidal in seconds.
Another supporting opinion by Louie:

Honestly Alexzel, all of us get Negative antipoints all the time. Do you really have to waste the forum space with another whining post.
A very good point by Joey_Batch_File:

you really should be neg'd for leading by a bad example. You should be showing the newbies the correct way about dealing with these situations
And the list continues, I see the general feeling here is that this post is a bad influence on the newbies. Your statis is very good on this board and you should be setting examples.

Thats my $.02 for what it is worth...
