AndyWood lost all the karma he accumulated over 5 years, with three lines posted to Discussion. There was little discussion, lots of reactionary criticism.
Does this seem in balance to you, Dentin?

It wasn't 3 lines. The actual discussion post is at -39 right now. If Andy had just realized that he was in a hole and stopped digging, he could have walked away with most of his karma intact. Instead, he made comment after comment trying to defend his post, and the combined downvotes on all those comments is what wiped out 5 years of karma.

Andy needs to talk to Professor Quirrell and ask for a lesson on how to lose.

He lost all the karma he bothered to accumulate over five years. Karma is easy to come by if you want it.
