If the person giving you negative rep doesn't sign their name, do you really care what they think? It's likely that you'd class them in the tabloid group anyway.

I really hope that no one takes the rep system so seriously that you feel personally attacked by a neg rep hit. No one is going to agree with you all the time, and sometimes you might take a hit or two. This system is supposed to give a general idea of a person's behaviour on the forum. It's not infallible, but we try to make it as fair as possible.
