Hey guys, you people should not bring The Sceptical Chymist to this thread, he has nothing to do with you guys. He game merit if the posts are good and not the users. And I don't think he checked username before giving merit but once the user's contribute is meaningful, he gives merit and he is a merit source and also he has not given neutral or negative tag to someone without evidence therefore let the name of the The Sceptical Chymist  should not come to your mind in this thread again.
Even though many people are not saying anything in the Reputation Board they know what is happening in the forum. As it is said he is a merit source so he gives. And has he said, because of his generosity in merit giving he becomes a fan to many forum users. Both small and high rank users. So for him given and becoming a merit fan for the person you are referring to has nothing to do with him in this thread.
