Karma is not just about reward/punishment, it’s also about information. The karma score of a comment tells me how many people found it worth reading, and how many people found it harmful—and comments can be sorted for that. Downvoting comments one wouldn’t otherwise have just because of who they were written by amounts to injecting noise into that information. Please don’t do that.
No.
