This Is almost certainly the chain of conversation Sophronius is referring to.

While I'm unaware of any official rules related to upvoting or downvoting individual posts or comments, karma's primary use at this time is to act as a gate on posting threads to Main. I did not read that thread at that time (and have not voted Sophronius' content there one way or the other), but it's pretty much the precise sort of stuff I would prefer not to see on Main.

As a Main post or as comments in the Main section?

The content that started the chain was a post, rather than comments to a post; I linked to the comment chain by another poster that quoted the particular relevant sections, for simplicity and clarity.

Honestly, the content of the text I don't think I'd like to see even as a comment in the Main section -- it's basically a burst of preaching to the crowd, except the crowd here won't even know most of the point -- but Karma only controls the content of posts in the Main section and is thus most relevant in that context.
