I considered the possibility that the OP doesn't understand how down voting works on Meta and assumes that because his original post was down voted people are out to sabotage him, but I'm not sure...
@MichaelMrozek I'm always harsh on meta. Have you seen my new avi?

Questions about why Stack Overflow does not share rep with Meta Stack Overflow are met with the response that meta.stackoverflow and stackoverflow do not share a "parent-child relationship" like the other meta sites. For example, this response:
Stack Overflow isn't in a parent-child relations...
I'm actually pretty careful about what I say in public forums. In a different state of mind, I wouldn't have posted that, even if I'd have no problem with someone else doing it.
It's a stupid word to use in that way, and I always want to call it out.
@JesseHartwick That's fine, but that meta question was asking what questions you should answer. Obviously you should answer the questions you know the answer to, unless your goal is to accumulate rep, in which case you might want to be more selective (e.g. don't bother answering an old question on an unpopular tag, since it probably won't get many upvotes)
@MichaelMyers Not if it's an answer that won't get upvotes, then you might as well spend that time answering other more popular questions
Unless you're hitting the rep cap every day and have time to spare, but if you are you're probably not posting on meta about which questions you should answer
