observation on user reputations

[Schneed10]

On rep, I think the system works in a lot of ways, but one major detractor is that it encourages positive opinions. When talking about the Redskins, you're going to tend to get more positive rep if you make a great, well-thought-out point that has an optimistic view of the team than you will if you make an equally great, well-thought point with a pessimistic view of the team. That's just our human nature as fans.

I'd rather see intelligent points on both sides.
