I had considered one and two before, and strongly prefer one, but it hadn't occurred to me that people might operate by three. And I don't use the anti-kibitzer, mostly because I'm too lazy to get it working, and believe (probably erroneously) that I am not influenced by that. Also, I'd constantly be turning it on and off and then on again, so much so that it would only be frustrating.

I mostly use one, with occasional instances of two. For instance, I never downvoted the Popper troll from a few months ago, because every comment of eirs I saw was already at -20 and downvoting seemed pointless. My not upvoting Lukeprog is mostly two with a little bit of three. I used to use the anti-kibitzer, but it was preventing me from getting to know the other users, and long conversations with three people in them got confusing. I kept having to turn it on and off, and in the browser I had at the time that meant scrolling all the way to the top of the page and losing my place.
