If you sign it & it's red some small minded idiot might decide on a karma war because they have lost something that doesn't exist.
Alternatively you may give green and some people then think they are obliged to give it straight back to you which makes the giving a little pointless.
However if you don't sign it that is because it is 'your choice', also it is wonderful to see the silly people that can't take criticism ranting on about something that in 'real life', they should be able to dismiss with a shrug of the shoulders.

Actually, someone who decides to be abusively anonymously is a coward. There is a difference between criticism and abusive behaviour where I am from. I'm never had a teacher in an educational establishment say the F word about me for example in a parents evening or a school report, or even in the class room at me. And I've pushed some teachers quite far.
Saying that though, I've never been treated quite as much like an idiot as I am on here, which probably makes all the difference to why I have done well regardless to all my other setbacks whilst there are a lot of people who HAVE been told they're an idiot throughout the lives and start to believe it. Self-fulfilling prophecy I believe they call that?

Re: one for teh karma buffs
Also, if someone was to shout that you a stupid old git from their bedroom window in the street then hide, would you consider THAT their choice as well?
You'd probably find it intimidating and cowardly. And you'd probably post about it

What on earth have teachers using bad language got to do with it? This is a web site not a school.
You think you get treated like an idiot? Well looking at some of your posts over the past couple of days I can understand why, but look on the bright side an idiot is at least one notch up from a moron so at least your getting the benefit of somebodies doubts.

Yes I would consider it their choice, obviously it is their choice because they decided to have this highly unlikely outburst.
I would find it strange and most probably amusing and yes, I would post about it, it would go straight into 'Today I met an accywebber', because obviously whoever shouted such a thing knows me.

Re: one for teh karma buffs
Its only quite recently that I found out where Karma was registered, and that was by accident. I think I have only given neg Karma once, because I don't really see the point, I have received very little really, but when I have its never been signed. I have occasionally received positive Karma which is also unsigned, which is rater frustrating as I always like to thank people for their kind gesture

Re: one for teh karma buffs
I got my last karma, anonymously, for pleading with Blazey not to go into social work, after she said if children were photographed looking 'fine' in magazines, they couldn't possibly be neglected.
I didn't call her an idiot, just illustrated the fact.

I think anybody who bothers about the karma system needs to take up knitting or some other similar exciting hobby

it's both cowardly and a choice. They aren't FORCED into calling you that, but it is abusive and unnecessary.
I think similar things about a lot of the people on this forum but I control myself and don't feel the need to put them down like that, in such a pathetic and unconstructive manner.
If you want to condone that sort of language then that is fine, but I find it disgraceful.

You are absolutely spot on Blazy......In real life, snide comments and down right ignorance does not go unnoticed and hiding behind a little red button, which we are told is of no consequence, is either childish or ignorant.
The Karma can be ignored but the comments can not.
Referance to idiots and morons can also be ignored when they come from a nonentity.

So sorry to hear you've only got a little red button to play with.
The rest of us have a great big swinging set of scales to use.

They can but I bet you don't, because after all, as can be seen in the quote you didn't.
