Yeah, I have one of these too. Someone is slowly working back through my comments systematically downvoting them. Given the rate, I think they're actually doing it by hand, and must have a browser window they've kept open for months just for this task. It's like they're trolling themselves for me, without me having to actually lift a finger. Some LW karma is cheap for such entertainment.

Actually, I've noticed that most of the karma drop is eventually recovered, probably because people tend to upvote comments they feel are downvoted unjustly.

I've lost 600 points since they started. (How much is that in Bitcoins at present exchange rates?) But, as I said, it's worth it in knowing some obsessive idiot is keeping a browser window open for months just to do this.
