Nope, you're in the red because people seem to disagree with what you are saying. Its not one-rep to one-blob btw - its an increasing scale dependant on your rep points. Its harder to get to 3 blobs from 2, then it is from 2 blobs from 1 so I dont think you will be at 3 red blobs by the end of the week, personally

Nope, thats not what im saying.
one red blob is -trivial-, as is two or even three. I was referring to when people get four, five or more red blobs. Thats a pretty good indicator that they are doing something very wrong

If they had any sense they wouldnt let it affect them too much. Insulting on the internet is petty and shouldnt be taken seriously at any time

Nah, just post decent, well thought out posts and chances are someone somewhere will pos rep you for it. After that its simply a matter of repetition

Nah not really. If you consider rep to be the 'de-facto' measure of a person in the community then you have completely missed the point of it.
Rep is a guideline, nothing more.

Unfortunately for the people involved, these people tend to have a LOT of rep altering power and so they end up in the red.
