Assuming this is primarily a problem because it makes your comments less likely to be read, why not just change your handle? That’ll throw them off your tail.
Yup. It also gives people a slight impression that the comment was mildly unpopular—not sure what effect that has—and, this is the big one, means that I can’t downvote because of anti-troll measures. Which, of course, I always forget, which is annoying.
OK, so it’s not that bad. Still.
But believe it or not, I actually set up another account under a different name and posted some constructive comments to give it a positive karma score (I had a vague plan to use it for stuff that was more affected than average?) Something I said gave it away, at the same time I discovered this wasn’t a one-off thing on my regular account.
Or, alternatively, I’m so annoying that I was both the first and second people to be karmassasinated (AFAICT). Can’t forget that possibility.
