It also alienates me that people here, according to the karma distributions, don't seem to get my point.

I downvoted you. I got your "point". I found it concern-trolling at worst, and irrelevant at best, with a dose of error tossed into the mix.

Oh no, somebody dared to say something without putting a qualifier in the front to make explicit a fact that we all understand, that this is what -they think-. That's why he's writing it, and your protest at the absence of weasel-words is nonsense, a rationalization for your statement, and a blanket refusal to admit to the fact that you might have been wrong.

Your protest at being "alienated" by the fact that people didn't upvote you as much as the person who disagreed with you makes it worse, because you imply you're obligated some level of karma balance with those who disagree with you. I say this, knowing for a fact it may get me downvoted, but I have enough honesty of self not to care: Fuck your entitlement. Grow up, become an adult, and realize that nobody is obligated to upvote you, regardless of what effect it might have on your feelings. That's not what the upvote/downvote system is for, and you're not a victim because half the people, including myself, who read your post felt that Less Wrong could use -less- of the kind of thing you wrote.
