I'd like to bet not a single proponent of negative rep would place publicly any value on positive rep received.

That being the case why the desire for negative rep?

I'm a proponent for both pos and neg rep.

Both really important for the health of the forum imo.
It's important for people to have a way to vent or disagree with someone, but also allows to give others appreciation beyond a 'like'.

If I was to give an analogy it'd be like a birthday, sure you can say happy birthday, but it isn't quite the same as someone making the effort to get or make a card and write a nice message inside.

Positive and negative reputation provides us with a way of self policing, saying I agree with what you've said, or I disagree with what you've said. It allows us as forum members to have some control over the kinds of content we see.
A gently placed neg can say this isn't appropriate, I don't want to see this.
In the same way a pos can say post more, I like what you're posting about.

Agreed, can't we just have a thumbs up/down option which would help to show opinion of each specific post? Like youtube?

I must admit to liking the whole roleplaying bit that goes on with rep, cliques and sniderman but that's because I have no life.

Can't really see the point in negging someone because they have a different footballing opinion to you.

Pipe down you tit


(I would have sent this as a neg rep if the option existed, saves cluttering up the thread with childish posts and insults)

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW REP CAN BENEFIT ALL OF US. ;)
