I actually don’t care about kharma—I’m not posting to get good kharma. Neither is curi. Disagreements should be resolved by discussion and by criticism, not by voting.
Karma is not a method of resolving disagreements here, it’s a feedback mechanism. If your comments are being heavily downvoted, it lets you know that people are finding something objectionable about them. Ideally we would like to be able to resolve disagreements here by discussion or experiment, but not all discussion is fruitful, and when a debate persists without a useful exchange of information or changing of opinions, then many people are going to want to see less of it.
