  1. I feel like correcting an abuse of a system by further abusing the system is a bad precedent to set

  2. If you feel this is a viable solution, you could have simply implemented it, rather than suggesting that I convince someone to implement.

Let it be known that I've upvoted all of your things to counteract whichever person downvoted all of your things, and nobody else should do that.

Well, here's to crossing fingers and hoping that the metasystem stabilizes, and I appreciate the gesture. ;)

And let it further be known that if I feel like the process has swung too far in the other direction (i.e., giving me too MUCH karma), I promise to expend that karma responding to negative-karma posts in an attempt to explain how I feel they could adjust their posting behavior towards more rational discourse.

Make it bad advice though lest you get more upvotes.

Good to see that your topic has ultimately led to a portable, scalable and non-complicated solution.
