It was a concious decision by the community as a whole to install the reputation system, and so we should try and make sure it has integrity.
Altough my rep doesn't bother me that much, it bothers other people, and people are more likely to get help if they have a positive rep. What they say also carries a lot more weight if they have a higher rep.
The rep is a sign that the community respects you, and gives an indication of where you stand in the community.
