I'm surprised to see this at 45% positive. I wonder if someone is mass-upvoting this, or if people are just upvoting it as a satire. If it is a concerted effort to mass-upvote, what is the point? To make Less Wrong seem crazy?

I'm pretty sure it's vote manipulation. I downvoted both comments when I came across them in the comment feed, but by the time I saw this post, they had gone from -2 to +2. Gaining 4 net upvotes that fast is well beyond some LWers whose sense of satire is broken.

I suspect mass-upvoting. Look at the amount of upvotes they've previously got for comments of empty praise

To demonstrate the easiness of gaming the votes?
