Well, if so, their cynical exploitation of the karma mechanics is working; it's at -3, soon all discussion will be silenced by the Toll.
EDIT: Well, there it goes. To defend my point, deliberately invoking mechanics designed to discourage feeding trolls to prevent discussion on topics you disagree with is cynical exploitation. Karma is intended to rate the quality of a comment, not to censor certain topics of discussion. I personally would consider this just as reprehensible as creating new thread to reply to comments in a Karma Tolled old one, which has been met with severe sanctions.
Cynical exploitation? The point of the karma mechanics is to downvote comments you don't want to see more of.
“I don't want see more of this” != “I don't want people to reply to this” (though the two are correlated); the Toll is about the latter.
