Of course, this is a straightforward problem to fix in the mechanism design: Just make responses to downvoted comments start at -5 karma, instead of having a direct penalty, as suggested elsewhere. I think that suggestion was for unrelated reasons, but it also fixes this little loophole.
This would discourage me much more than the current mechanism: I care very little about my total karma score. (I'm not saying it would be a good thing.
