I am confused. Why does removing the rep points have anything to do with you and why is it a personal attack on you? They were really really stupid to begin with which is why I rarely if ever gave them out. The only thing I can see about them is to boster people's ego or attack them and who gives a rat's ass about ego or attacking. Me wantie the money baby. SHOW ME THE MONEY.
I think you misunderstand kdmfox. He's legitimately a good guy and a good capper. If you want to blame someone about this, blame myself, raiders, and a number of others who said this was a terrible idea from Day 1.
People quickly learn who the solid cappers and contributors to SBR are. You'll be OK.
