To whom it may concern!
« on: January 08, 2012, 10:58:31 pm »
 Just a quick note to inform you that I am sorry I angered you! I have thought about this all day after I noticed the rep point subtracted. I personally have never gave or deducted rep points for anybody. I always felt my rep here was based on knowledge and understanding of the immigration process and my willingness to help others here. Any way I have some left, you can have them also. I always thought the rep system was more for the benefit of the newbie's to assist with identifying a more experienced and knowledgeable member, but here the system is used more for a method to instigate by some. Anyway, I will review all of my past content to see if I can determine how I offended you!       Cheers! 8)

I have no idea what this is all about and I just wanted to thank you for all the information that you share with the forum and with me privately. You have been a real help to me and relieved several panic attacks. If someone got offended by one of your comments or opinions well so what. Your doing more good here than most people, including me.

Robert I can't think of a thing you have posted that would anger or upset someone?


Oh wait a minute, did you wish Irish a Happy Birthday? You were warned with what could happen if you didn't.  :)

Robert...

You are too knowleagable and competant with all the proceless adsvice and help you give here...

Dont let the actions of some poor, misguided clown colour your view of your immense worth to this forum.

Rep points have no meaning...unless you want them to... ;D ;D

He actually did, so somebody had his finger in Irish's Cake then ?

This is kind of is embarrassing to us Mod's , we don't know how or who is responsible for this ? Any negative Post/Message will be reported to all of the Member's and the "One" responsible for such, before any action as to removing a Post and given a minus rep. point .

We use to have a link (the word Reputation I think?) that would show who gave and who took away. I don't know what happen with it? If it was turned off or a program update changed it? For whatever reason you can't get that info anymore.

Most likely dates back to a certain thread where someone attempted to school me in immigration interviews! ;)

I have no idea what this is all about!  Have I missed something?

All I know is that Robert is a very knowledgeable person when it comes to USA immigration regulations.  Even though they do not concern me I am sure that many others have been well pleased with the knowledge he has imparted to this Forum.

Robert, this has happened to all of us at one time or another.  The points are real subjective because there are no real guidelines for giving them or taking them away.  So each time you comment about something you run the risk of getting negative feedback.

If I remember correctly there was a guy who had a rep of about 10 and almost overnight it went to a -15 or so.  Then he retaliated and gave many of us negative reputations.  Why do I say all of this?  Because losing a point or 2 doesn't really matter.  You'll gain them back as you continue to provide good info on this site.

Most all of us really appreciate you.

Shaun

P.S. I think this subject has been the second most controversial thing on this site.  (Decided the most controversial thing didn't need to be said, so I deleted it.(Shaun))

The Rep points should be just that. It's just the maliciousness of taking points for no real reason just to be a pr**k.

I think it does the forum very good having Robert S (and the other Rob  :) ) here and giving facts of information.

I don't know why we have this reputation point thing. It's just makes trouble for people.  Please get rid of it so guys cannot use it to retaliage or anger others who does not agree to their way of thinking and they use it as a weapon to hurt people here.
