That might be a more complex script, though.

Find all sets of Eugine's votes on comments by particular users, filter out any sets such that there are less than ten votes within that set or the ratio of upvotes to downvotes is greater than, say, 0.2, and reverse any downvotes in the remaining sets? That sounds like it should be compactly doable with SQL, although I don't know a thing about the LW database.

That's why I hedged a bit. I know SQL is capable of doing such a thing, but I don't know anything about the LW database either.
