"That damn PowerGlove guy, getting all those merits and then being a stingy bastard when it comes to giving them back out."
I spend my sMerits like drunken sailor, but I'm still a stingy bastard.
Honestly, I often wish that I had more sMerits to hand out, because it always feels really cheap to me when I leave just one merit on a post that deserves more...
I'm not a source either, so I feel the same way. But don't feel bad about it, I often find that when I'm the first to merit a deserving post many more tend to follow. Sometimes it just takes on person to identify a post that's deserving for others to see the value in it.
At one time I was up to 1400 smerits I got under 400 but right now I am around 440
