Doesn't really matter. I'm pretty certain that there are at least two posters who habitually just rate down anything I post, no matter what topic. Given the sheer number of times I've posted something helpful and/or amusing and non confrontational, had it rated up to excellent on day one, and then read the same thread a day or three later (with no additional posts by me in that thread) only to see the rating has dropped to default, it's pretty obvious that this is what's happening.
Not meaning to whine about Karma, but I've seen this going on for at least a year or so. I remember making the same observation some time ago when Kao was asking about feedback to the Karma system, and I asked him if he could come up with a way to catch that. It was quite obvious that a person or two would get annoyed with something I said in one thread and then search for all the threads I'd made recently and rate them all down. I don't think that's in the spirit of the karma rules, but there's nothing preventing someone from doing that.
