Well a few people have asked if the rep system can be removed and obviously some people seem to take it to heart when they get negative rep (I've noticed a few comments from a few people complaining about anonymous negative rep) so heres an idea.
Why not just ignore it?
No one is bleeding, no one has died.... does it really matter?
Just ask yourself one question. "Will it make any difference in 1 years time?".
If the answer is NO, then why bother getting worked up about it.
Christ if I worried about negative comments I would not have met up with DougP more than once

P.S If it really annoys you that much, then give DougP anonymous positive rep... It really pisses him off
