I don't see the issue....I like being able to rep people when I want instead of "spreading it around"....which I do anyway, but I like being able to do it when I want to do it.
Hell, on the old board, there were guys who gave positive rep just for the hell of it sometimes....
It's pretty easy to see someone's rep. You do it the exact same way as looking at your own. I've accidentally ended up on people's rep page before, in the same way that I've accidentally visited half of your profiles.
Recently, I noticed that a certain member had negative total rep and I wasn't sure why, so I clicked on it, and sure enough, it's the same nerds hitting this poster with it repetitively. So I clicked on theirs out of curiosity (or "stalking" as the more fragile members put it), and saw that there were a few posters jerking off on each other's faces and bumping each other hundreds of points at a time. It just seems like a really lame use of the feature and I thought I'd bring it up.
Really, if I was bored or butthurt enough I could just put your rep to the negatives (I don't really know if you'd care or not) by clicking the same button over and over. It's like pro-bowl voting, but no one wins anything in the end.
It just seems like on the old board, rep was a bit more legitimate. Not that it ever really matters, but it indicated how well your posts had been received. Here, it's a completely different animal.
