I really don't know how to say this in the nicest way. But a lot of your rep loss was because you were flaming about losing rep and your deleted post message wasn't too nice either. Don't take reputation too seriously, you would of kept a lot of it if it weren't for your other posts, Its good that you deleted them however.

I personally wouldn't of downrepped you for your post about using Google. Not everyone see's the same things in a post. Its hard to see if the person was joking or just being arrogant when its all mostly text base.

If people are trying to flame bait you let them, just don't reply to it. Your soon see they will lose rep and you simply won't. It would be a shame if you were to stop posting snooze. In my eyes everyone is a vital asset to this forum :P Mostly everyone anyway...
