Yes, you can. I've done it multiple times, although I don't think we're supposed to. I just talk that much.

Every once in a while, I'll get a glitch like that too. I'll be able to do one or the other but not both. I've learned that if I want to thank AND leave a rep, I need to rep the person first, then click the thanks button. It won't work the other way.
