Although this is slightly offtopic, I'd quite like to touch on this:

As far as I'm aware, the reputation system is designed to be literally that - how good a community member's reputation is given the value of their posts.

Using reputation to disagree, IMO, sort of defeats the purpose of the system. Everyone's entitled to their opinions, and I think disagreement is healthy - it shouldn't affect the reputation of the poster.

Negative reputation should probably be reserved, like tgun mentioned, for abusive posts, or posts with no constructive value.

Disagreeing with someone via a reply, rather than negative rep, allows a more expansive discussion, which is what a forum environment is for.
