- MBCook 11y agoThat comic is a trope at this point. Any discussion of standards includes it. The comment didn't add anything. If it was a more substantive comment and mentioned the comic you'd have a point. But the comment might as well be a copy and paste job. It's not really adding to the discussion. I mean just from the discussion and the letters XKCD I knew which comic it was.

- abrookewood 11y agoFair enough, I'd have to agree.
- reitanqild 11y agoDidn't vote, but if I could vote for "stay at 1 point" I'd do. I mean, that comment isn't too bad but sometimes I (we?) get a sneaking suspicion that some of these (I didn't check the commenters comment history so I cannot say in this case) are attempts at "karma farming", which is annoying.
