Most people don't neg rep. This is mostly because a neg rep is an implicit recognition which, in turn, could validate the person's transgression. The curses from my enemies are blessings, so to speak.
The usual defense of refusing to neg rep is that the offended is above that sort of passive-aggressive de-meriting, but the preferred alternative is to reply directly to the individual on the message board and attack their self-worth (being sure to remind them they aren't worth the attention, etc).
