If this helps, this is how I see reputation. Take care to be open about it and understand: -how you are seen here on this post -how you were seen on the afflicting post(linked by somebody) -where you stand for the future //This text I have written is not very pleasant, so I will hide it. This text contains critical imagery! Read at your own risk!// [spoiler][i]I see reputation as each individual you meet in life walks along by you. In their hands, every person carries a container(the size of a normal paint canister) of boiling hot black ink. People who are either neutral or friendly towards you walk peacefully by without deviation. However those who dislike or hate you, decide to "apply" that boiling hot ink on you. Perhaps that one guy dips his hand into the ink and slaps you in the face. Maybe another person doesn't see eye to eye with you and kindly gets a paintbrush and coats you with some. Your reaction may leave you screaming in agony, and someone may not appreciate that. So, they turn around(previously passive to you) and dump the entire can on you. You can do nothing about it, and you feel the everlasting sting. Progressively, you become stained and horrendously burned, however it will not kill you and you will feel it, beyond human limits. Person after person you stay standing waiting for the next individual to show you their spite their hatred, all in a form you are now aware of. Smear after smack after spash after sprinkle after shower after spread after scoop of boiling black link leaves you stained, scorched. You can feel your soul beg to leave your now regretful, disfigured body. You shout for forgiveness but those who love you are confused and and those who hate you walk away satisfied. No longer able to stand, you fall to the ground and lay there, your friends and enemies walking away together. The ink finally cools and leaves scarlet fissures throughout your body, amid a deep sea of obsidian. You hope, one day, they will visit you again, and know who you are. ~x614hamstercatx [u]Hcat Ramblings of a Crazy Titan Volume IV.[/u] [/i][/spoiler] You and I are neutral, I have no hate but I remember our history. Tell me logan, how do you think you look? Can you do better? Do you remember me? Will I know you next time?
