Please don't include passive grubbing for upvotes as a coda to your comments. If you have something to say, even if it's controversial, have the courage to say it plainly without projecting anxiety about karma (of all things).
It's insulting by implication to the community here that expressing a contrary but constructive and well-written opinion would become a crisis for your karma. For the most part, other readers can differentiate between constructive comments they disagree with and spammers, griefers, trolls, crapflooders, and trivial one-liners.
- martythemaniak 15y agoA contrary but constructive and well-written opinion isn't a crisis for your karma. But you better get ready to spend some of it if you bad mouth Apple...
- Perceval 15y agoCertainly not. All of the top-rated comments in this thread express a negative opinion of Apple's policies.
- leviathant 15y agoI think you just have to be more careful with your rhetoric if you're going to point out something negative that Apple has done. Most of my karma actually comes from comments that could be taken as anti-Apple. If all karma were so hard-earned, the system would probably function closer to the intentions of those who created it.
