if you work out how many was took and who's on line then you know most of the time. Just wait and take some back . I'd be on about 300 karma now if it wasn't for the witch hunt
the nice decent people of this forum give me positive cos I've got my own mind, even if they don'talways agree, the nasty take it because they haven't got there own mind.
there are others of course, the odd times when someone genuinely doesn't agree with what I've put and rates that post on that content and signs it. if I can see where that person is coming from then i wont retaliate, but more often than not it's because they haven't read the post right and have automaticaly given me negative rather than posting and clarifying it first.
non of the other sites I use bother with karma even though it's enabled. If they dissagree they say so in the post.
I've come to the conclusion therefor that the karma is best ignored, pretend it doesn't exist or you'll just end up an *** licker and not have your own mind on here.
