No, I haven't noticed it. But I confess my standards are rather brutal and I haven't been paying close attention.
Can you point to a few examples that you would not expect to be voted down as much at other times?
The parent and lessdazed's reply (before my upvote) for instance. This thread was full of examples until most of the negative karma comments eventually got voted back up. It's hard to find examples since negative karma comments so often get brought back up to zero.
Could also be that I was away from Less Wrong for a while and I'm not used to the current level of traffic- I suppose I've also been surprised by how upvoted some comments have been.
People should be somewhat aware of the averse and irrational reactions negative karma tends to evoke in people-- it can lead to the downvotee downvoting more aggressively in turn and become more defensive and arrogant in his comments. Which isn't to say people should lower their standards about what is acceptable here, exactly.
