With the intention of taking the reputation system here as a guide as opposed to a ‘brand’ or scarlet letter, I’m wondering what people think about deleting posts that garner a lot of negative Karma. I’m not expecting my Karma to all of a sudden rebound, however since enough people feel strongly negative about the post in question, there is some peer pressure to remove the post, unless I want to be seen as being a rebel or contrarian or meta-contrarian or intellectual hipster. I’m smart enough to recognize and interpret signaling, and not too set in my ways to not be able to attempt to go with the flow.
