The red rep button is a legitimate way to express displeasure without resorting to insults or tarnishing the pages of this site. So, in that respect I think this is a fair proposal set forth by Booze. If Xadu annoys you with something bizarre, then don't respond with childish attacks just send forth some of that potent red rep. And then your point has been made.

I've never been one to give out too much neg rep. But it is a an option that is always there if you need it. I think that we usually spend our time wanting to share appreciation by sending postitive reps and that we forget the neg rep button is even there. But sometimes it probably should be used.

Here is where I stronly disagree. I can't emphasize our disagreement enough.

I enjoy giving the posters I enjoy or people with good points nice rep. But there aren't that many of them. So I logically have to spread it to meritless or not as favourable posters/posts.

Well doesn't it make more sense to spread some negative rep to people who earned it, rather than positive rep to people who didn't?
