Karmassassination is my best guess. Most of your posts seemed not to be bad, and in a couple of cases they seemed insightful.
This comment's karma really surprises me though, not because of the post quality, but because 41 people looked at and downvoted it.
I think a lot of people are tired of roland bring up that issue again and again. (And possibly (negative) halo effect once it got a few downvotes and replies explaining why people downvoted.)
There is such a thing as an unreasonable position (a crackpot, if you like). The difficulty is in accurately distinguishing between correct contrarians, the reasonably misinformed, and the absurd.
This being a wonderful example of the negative effects of that difficulty.
How do you know that?
...because it's at -41 karma? That many dummies would take quite a bit of work.
I see it at -2 right now... That's really strange.
Sorry, wrong link somehow. Fixed.
