Considering the OP is from someone who had his right to vote removed, two identities ago, I find the topic quit ironic.

If it's not too much for Leaf, the total + and - would be logical for showing for example, that a zero is really - 5 and + 5 split decision.

Come on guys one more down vote to hide the OP. Who is going to sink me? The winner get an extra down vote added to his quota.

I guess more than enough people agreed with you and pushed it over the limit, before I got here. So I didn't need to help your request.

is it not also an issue that you may be abrasive in one thread, and less so in another, but - just like in the real world - people don't wipe your slate clean each time. This happens here a lot, right? I do agree the total tally of + and - would be helpful, but i'm loath to ask Leaf to do more work.

edit: fixed spelling mistake, as pointed out - incorrectly! - by not-so-smartypants BT

I suspect people will not be loth to give me minuses if they loathe me for pointing out the difference between loth and loathe

edit: I am being a smartypants but I wasn't incorrect: You could have loth or loath, but not loathe

always happy to have my errors pointed out, as I do indeed dislike poor spelling and grammar in others, particular in a written forum.

I shall look forward to returning the favour.

Sorry Gillian. It was just too much for me after I woke up today and immediately encountered a split infinitive in the title of another thread. There's only so much one can bear!

I'm sure you will get your revenge before long.

You deal with a lot of foreigners in a forum who do not have 100% flawless command of the English language. Pointing out errors to them is not nice. I wonder how can you tell the difference if someone is native English speaker or not?

She's planning to get her own back on me, which is fair enough.

Usually the native English speakers have worse grammar and spelling.
