I won't answer any of the individual claims or accusations since I consider that I said all I had to said in the OP and in my previous post in various other threads, but considering that, despite saying you don't care, some of you actually seem to do care and be over sensitive about the "-rep" ratings, I will make just this one clarification.
Every time when I started a thread I gave +/- rep to most (if not all) answers for the simple reason that this is my way to provide feedback to people answering me; when people post on-topic, constructive messages I always give +rep, when people post off-topic, attack me or other people or are rude, I always give -rep. Even in this post were certain people who disagreed with me and I still gave them +rep because they expressed their disagreement in a positive, civil way (for example, Sionkiewicz or KijkkiJikki).
Now, as it is explained here, negative reputation should be given if we find a post that is clearly off-topic, rude, inciteful, inflammatory, flaming or unfair and all the negative reputations I gave were for post which, at least in my vision were falling under one of these categories (rude, inciteful, flaming, off-topic, thread derailing).
When I give a +/- rep I almost never look to whom I give said rating, but I give the rating solely based on the content of the post I rate (so I could easily -rep my best friend of +rep my worst enemy); further more, I don't consider that I rate the person, but the post itself (and that's why there are a lot of people on this forum which, over time, received both positive and negative reputation ratings from me, many times for messages in the very same thread - atomicstorm being a prime example). So, since the rating I give is per post, not per person, if you did post multiple times then yes, you will receive multiple ratings and, obviously, if all said posts are falling in one of the mentioned categories, then all said ratings would be negative.
Also, since there is a limit of how many ratings we can give per day or how often we can give a second rating to the same person, some ratings may come with one or more days delay, but nevertheless they will come (both the positive and the negative ones), since I keep a file with all the ratings that I wanted to give and I couldn't because of technical reasons and as soon as the system allows me I catch up with the queue.
If you want to -rep me (either as a retaliation or because you genuinely believe I deserve it) feel free to; in opposition to some of you, I honestly don't care and I would sure not run crying to mommy, daddy or other forum users to whine about it. Finally, if you are convinced that the posts for which I did negatively rate you were neither off-topic (that was the main reason for my -rep ratings), rude, inciteful, inflammatory, flaming or unfair and you consider that I actually abused the system, then I politely ask you to report me and I'm ready to face any judgment bestowed upon me by the forum admins or moderators.
And, finally, one last clarification, to avoid any misunderstanding: I am *NOT* quitting the game, but just stop depositing and cycling so I don't feed other players and I am also *NOT* stop reading the forum, is just that, except potential commercial threads, *AT THE MOMENT* I don't feel that keep engaging myself in such useless debates is a good time investment for me, so I'm trying to stay away from it. That's exactly the reason why I don't feel the need to respond to any of your posts in particular.
