Note of interest--Today, out of curiosity (and with extra time on a T1 line) and after talking with a fellow poster-off board. . .I suspected that if you "curse" a particular Profile here, an important one apparently, you're automatically cursed too--. . .i just cursed this individual for being contrary and my tally automatically went up 2 pts. . . I guess that's the karma Midnite alluded to. . .just a warning to everyone, we're not all equal out here. . .so be careful whom you smite.
Another frickin' reason i hate it. . .
Sorry, but your assumption is not correct. Any way that you use the feature, or anybody that you use it on, eventually reflects back on your own total. It doesn't happen with every use-- it accumulates, so your total CANNOT increase solely as the result of curing/cursing one member, and it certainly cannot jump 2 points for using it once. If there was a sudden jump of 2 points to your curse total then at least one member was cursing you, and at the risk of repeating myself, you cannot know who the member or members were because the feature is anonymous.
The feature works this way whether you bestow a cure or a curse on someone that can't yet use the feature, or on me as a forum administrator, or on any other member, so I honestly don't know what you're talking about when you say that the feature makes a distinction that one member is more important than another.
