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.
saralk is right...
Tbh, if you don't give a *beep* about reps, don't post in discussions about it... It's harsh, but if you don't care about them, then you also don't care what is being discussed about them... :/
Saying you don't care about them is nice to know but doesn't bring anything usefull to discussions like this IMHO.
Some people do care about them and want it to be with as much as integrity as possible, like saralk explains it.
