I do keep it on, because I want to see all messages even if most people hate it. Fortunately, they do not delete the messages permanently in such case, unlike some others do. (I also use custom CSS so that no messages are grey; all of them are black. If I can, I would also want to change the sort order of messages so that it is based on time (perhaps, of the most recent nested reply) rather than karma (if that is what is done; it doesn't seem to be sorted by time).)

Comments and articles both definitely have a time component in the sort. For comments, time might mostly be a tie-breaker, because up-votes do have a greater weight. Articles always drop over time, upvotes only keep them around for slightly longer. I don’t know what the precise sort is, but FWIW I think Paul Graham published what it used to be, once upon a time... you can probably find the old code. I’d guess it hasn’t changed all that much except maybe for how it handles gaming / voting rings.
