Why should a posting by someone who everyone else agrees has never had anything useful to say be judged less bad than the same posting by someone who does on occasion post upworthy things?
Oh, I beg your pardon—I misread what you wrote as ”… that thinks everyone posts …” rather than ”… that everyone thinks posts …”, and answered accordingly.
Having now (I hope) read the words you actually wrote, my intuition agrees with yours, but I suspect that it may only be artificial extreme cases that produce such counterintuitive outcomes. I will think about it some more.
That seems pretty reasonable to me.
[EDITED to add: except that what I was saying “seems pretty reasonable” was not in fact what Richard wrote; I misread. See comments below.]
