Is there a reason why every post I make in this thread is being rated down? I usually don't comment on Karma - but this is getting ridiculous.
I'd love if one of the trolls could enlighten me here.

The people who rated you down in this thread aren't the ones who rated you down in others. I'd take a guess that people just thought it was a dumb topic more suitable to the OoT than the Asylum. This crew is more into the politics/religion/insanity topics than general "Here's the first thing that came to my mind, let's share it!" posts.
Now, if we changed it to something like "I hate hipsters/conservatives, their music sucks, f*ck OWS/the Tea Party," you'd probably get a few rate-ups

Personally, I think it's a personality thing. You pissed someone off, or made them feel little. Or maybe you inadvertently offended a sensitive soul or one of their friends or maybe their mom.
If it was the topic, then the rate-downs would prolly only go as far as the first couple posts. Also, if someone thought it was a dumb topic for the asylum, then they'd just ignore it. Most the old-timers around here don't bother with rates at all.
Anyways, I think Understanding Peer Ratings on Internet Forums would make for a cool psychology paper.
