For what it's worth, I upvoted you.
Nonetheless, I think you're making a bit of a generalization here from messageboard karma to the real world.
The community here on HN is self selected for a particular kind of person, and the people that would be on my side in this discussion really tend to avoid this board for similar reasons.
I have no doubt that you'll get more karma for being cordial instead of abrasive, respectable instead of radical. But I care very little about how much karma I have.
- Mz 9y agoEh, karma is far easier to point to than the things I actually pay the most attention to. I also cannot fathom why people make this sort of distinction between cyberspace and meatspace. People get jobs and work and meet future spouses and on and on via online forums. There are an awful lot of real world movers and shakers right here on Hacker News. Best. Have a good day.
