Deleted due to the attempt to evade the -5 penalty.
I thought part of the point of the -5 penalty was to keep interesting discussions from happening down stream of downvoted comments. In that case isn't responding to heavily downvoted comments in a different thread exactly what should happen?
I assumed that either Eliezer just didn't like the subject or that the comment actually quoted a -5 comment. Hang on. This can be checked. We can see from Eliezer's page which author Eliezer was replying to and look at that user's page.
(From what I can tell everything the user in question has written has been downvoted.)
I understood the system actually stops the thread starter from replying to replies to their own comment if they have less than +5 total karma. Stop people talking to people talking to them and they will go for a circumvent.
Maybe just let people accrue more negative karma when replying to downvoted threads rather than stopping them when they hit the arbitrary zero point?
