If anyone wants to do this again or otherwise use voting weirdly, it is probably a good idea to have everyone put a disclaimer at the beginning of their comment warning that it's part of the experiment, for the sake of the recent comments thread.
(I don't trust any of the scores on this post. At the very least, I expect people to vote up anything at -3 or below that doesn't sound insulting in isolation.)

I've felt for a while that LW has a pretty serious problem of people voting from the recent comments page without considering the context.

The karma scores seem to have gotten closer to what I would have expected. Agree with your point though.
