I believe that “popperclipping” is a play on words, a joke, alluding to a popular LW topic. Explaining it more might kill the joke.
I mean curi has now insufficient karma to post on the main page
Currently, on the main page, the most recent post under “Recent Posts” is curi’s The Conjunction Fallacy Does Not Exist. The comments under this are showing up in the Recent Comments column. Of the five comments I see in the recent comments column, three are comments under curi’s posts. That is a majority. As of now, then, it appears that curi continues to dominate discussion, either directly or by triggering responses.
Damn, I thought it was in the discussion. Then, I retract my statement that karma works. Still, what’s the explanation? Where did curi get enough karma to balance the blow from his heavily downvoted comments and posts? I have looked onto two pages of his recent activity where his score was −112 (-70 for the main page post, −42 for the rest). And I know he was near zero after his last but one main page post was published.

Maybe mass upvoting by sockpuppets?
Certainly. I only missed the standard name for that behaviour spelled out loud.
