Comment on Ask HN: Abuse of Flagging and Downvotes on HNparent

Comments

So you only want to make public what you personally think is undesirable behavior

Got it - so if it crosses some subjective threshold you have, tell everyone about it?

Why that number? Why not 1 downvote? It's bad faith for you to disagree with me, so if you ever downvote me, show everyone!

See what I did there? You have some subjective dislike - most likely because you have been downvoted or flagged (I admit that is an assumption I am making) in what you think is "bad faith"

Karma on sites like this is just fake internet points

If you're that hung up on your score, maybe it's you who needs to take a break, and not get attached to an arbitrary, inconsequential "number" attached to your user name :)
