I have been trying to help a guy called Skeptic whose rep went from 40ish down to 2. He has a colourful way of talking and he's a hot head but he didn't deserve such a severe rep drop without a few warnings first. Also, much of what he said has been twisted and misrepresented, so that a superficial glance puts him squarely in the wrong. Don't get me wrong, I understand why some people find him annoying but I believe that he has been wronged and it is being largely ignored.
