Phantom OzBargain Negger

I think I've picked up a little neg pet on OzBargain. All of my comments, even the innocuous ones, get a single neg pretty quickly. Obviously I peed someone off about something I said, and they've decided to follow me.

"Good neg boy, good neg boy!"

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

    Maybe, can you repeat the question?

    Sometimes I upvote people who have been negged, because I don’t understand why they’ve been negged and want to even it out.

      Hehe. If I see a -1, I'll upvote so that all things become perfectly balanced again.

        In politics, that's called pairing.

    Sometimes, I'll make a post that encourages a lot of negs. It's usually when I'm pissed at something and can't be bothered being politically correct (which in my mind is something white people harp on about to make minorities like myself feel better).

      Maybe you should consider that you're not getting negged because of political correctness or lack thereof.

      Maybe you were getting negged because your perspective on the issue is flawed.

      • So you are racist after all. No wonder others thought it. You just admitted it. Dam… white people. Pretend you're not but we all know you are, it's in your genes!

        • Care to elaborate?

        • Thanks Baby John Burgess, I choose a letter 'n' for the ellipsis. Is the phrase "damn white people"? Do I win the Funk and Wagnalls encyclopædia?

        I'm pragmatic enough to realise that my perspectives were never perfect in the first place.

        As per my other comment above, I gave you an upvote. All things perfectly balanced.

  • I think it's just a coincidence that some people say some really dumb stuff.
    We need to either cull some posters, or raise the neg limit :)

    Isn’t this only to create more copycat neggers for you?

    I swear I’m still getting butt hurt neggers doing random drive by negs all because I put some dogshit in an iPad box and left it out for the filthy hard garbage bin scabs.

    Some people carry a grudge on here and if the fake internet points they can dish out help them sleep at night and if they genuinely think their passive aggressive jabs are enough to help them cry themselves to sleep at night, I say let them have it. They last a few days and give up. Just set your watch and wait for them to get butt hurt at something else you say and watch it all kick off again a month later…

    To me, neg votes are just a butt hurt barometer.

      To me, neg votes are just a butt hurt barometer.

      100%. I get downvoted to oblivion in price error posts for telling people how it is and the 'entitled' hate the truth.

    • Hehe ipad thing was actually funny, who would neg that?

    welcome to ozbargain this is what happens when you have a personal opinion that is different to the mobs opinion.

    all comments are to be made in a mild colour beige.

      or the even milder colour of greige.
