However, when it comes to the snippy gossip comments that can and are made by other FTers...nope! That's where I meant that there are very few here who know me well enough...very few people here know what makes me "tick" and what really makes me who I am or are in a position to really comment on or make judgement calls about my character.

(edited to add) It's one thing for someone to disagree with my post for ANY reason, and I support that others can & will disagree with my opinions. But for me to worry about that person's "ding" affecting my actual "reputation" just seems needless to me. Likewise, just because I disagree with someone's post and may or may not ding them for it, doesn't mean it affects what/how I (or others) view that person or "who" they really are.
