    I'll tell you what's wrong with that: people who are not willing to pay the social price of their opinions shouldn't voice their opinions in public spaces that - like Hacker News - foster considerate conversation. Places like r/the_donald have shown the kind of perverse groupthink that happens when members of the group feel they are exempted of the normal action/social-reaction feedback loop. If someone has a deeply held belief and they are willing to stand by it, then they won't be worried about "karma" points, right?
