No, I don't live in Australia ... except in whatever sense is necessary for you humans not to hate me c=/

Here's an important lesson in human social signalling.

Now you confuse. Elaborate;

Well, I said I don't live in Australia (and I don't live in Australia), and I got -8 points, and so I said I live in Australia instead, and that also got me negative points. I don't know what I'm supposed to say for you humans to not dislike me!!!

Your ability to convincingly signal ape-distress has become quite impressive. I am slightly more scared of you than I once was.

Downvotes don't mean "I don't like you", they mean "I'd like to see fewer comments like this one".

Although I suspect they sometimes mean "I'd like to see fewer comments like this one where 'like' includes 'by this author' because I don't like him!"

There's a solution for that. (At least a partial solution. As a long-time AK user I find that I can more and more reliably identify a few commenters by their style. Even so I typically vote on substance alone.)

Do you often confuse me with Clippy? I would have thought my comments were for most part reasonably distinctive...

Just that once. That comment was, roughly paraphrased, "would you like me if I said X", which was quite Clippy-esque. Less so when seen in context.

Well ... they make me feel unliked (_/

Is that an emoticon of a partially unbent paperclip? How gruesome!

Comment author: Clippy 02 September 2010 02:41:30AM 2 points [-]

It's just an abstract depiction. It's not like those awful videos you humans allow on the internet that show a paperclip being repeatedly bent until it has a fatigue failure. Yuck!
