negative feedback

[Mr. H]

I was just curious why when someone leaves negative feedback it hides their name? Kinda makes it hard to defend your position and lets people mess with your rep just because they disagree with you. but thats my thought and I will probably get more negative feedback for this but, I think i will be able to go on

There are ways to see who has repped you.
I bet if you look hard enough, you can find out what it takes.

Think BLUE.

Because the fact remains that reputation, as a system, was designed to be anonymous.
Premium members got a hookup a while back, and THEN were allowed to see who left them reputation. It was a little-known fact for MONTHS, until someone spilled the beans, now some people hold it as if we're extorting people into buying premium memberships.
At any rate, however, this has been discussed time and again and usually turns to a pissing contest, so I am going to be proactive.
