That's another very good point, people tend to put far too much stock in rep, when it's actually nearly worthless. Respect is infinitely more important then reputation points, and the two so rarely correlate. I did feel that I should do something to balance out your neggarep though, because that was undeserved. I'm also disappointed by the 'dumb fuck' comments, that's even more unnecessarily then usual in the Intelligent Discussion section.
Thank you, as well, for giving me the victory here. Although you put up a very solid argument, I will admit that mine may have been a bit better, although you definitely pushed me further then most people would have. It was also obvious that you were more then a little knowledgeable on the subject, although your foundation was shaky in bits. I consider myself reasonably well-versed on the topic as well. I took an interest in learning about drugs a few months ago, because it was something that friends were beginning to dabble in. It kind of took off from there, I'm very thorough in my research when I have a personal interest.
