So quit kicking me in the pants everyone! Once was enough.
Who are you talking to? Nobody downvoted your node twice. If the node's rep is at -10 that means there were 10 more people who downvoted it than upvoted it.
If 50 people see a node and think it's just barely worth a ++ then the node will have a 50 rep. If 20 people see an absolutely incredible node and think it's worth as many upvotes as possible, it will still only have a 20 rep. I haven't heard anyone claim a node's rep is in any way indicative of its quality.
Your suggestion was completely valid, so don't worry if you lose a few xp by bringing it up. Better to have a good discussion and reduce an imaginary number slightly than to increase that imaginary number while not learning anything.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
