I'd like to take credit for it, but Matthew had the good idea all by himself.  His solution had never even occurred to me.  All I did was express my concerns and ask him to think and pray about the problem.  It turns out that he had already noticed it and been planning to do something.  

My request only affected the timing of something that he was going to do anyhow.  It was not accurate to characterize that as him obeying me.
Oh, look!
It seems I am eligible to downvote you again.
It would be nice if my vote merely disagreed with what you said, rather than damaged your REPUTATION.

I think the reputation system might carry a penalty for repeated downvotes.  This was true on another board.

Honey bees also suffer by stinging others. After the honey bee stings, it dies.

In other words, Smedley, your positive reputation might have been much higher had you not chosen to use the downvote feature so often.

All the flat earth members have skewed "reputations." And it isn't because they are "unlikable."
People on both sides of virtually every controversy on this forum get upvotes from those who agree and downvotes from those who disagree.  Anyone engaging in debate here is "skewed" in this way.  Except it isn't skewing, it is working the way it supposed to.

Your have the reputation you do because you are an extremely unpleasant poster.  No other flat-earther has a score comparable to yours. There are enough flat-earthers giving out upvotes to each other to make decent scores possible.  I don't think anyone on this forum besides you has a 4 to 1 down:up ratio.
