If you post something that someone doesn't like, they may form a somewhat negative opinion of you, and they may reduce your reputation accordingly.
This is exactly what the system is supposed to do - that's why it's called a reputation system, rather than a helpfulness evaluation system or something.

It's not like you have to participate in it. Nobody's forcing you to care about that number next to your post, and certainly nobody's forcing you to give people reputation.
