You're a good contributor to this community, so this is a kind of one-off deal and frankly I'm surprised I have to say this but: Say what you're going to say.

You're a good contributor to this community, so this is a kind of one-off deal and frankly I'm surprised I have to say this but:
Say what you're going to say. Mean what you say and don't watch your karma. If you weren't willing to say it in the presence of downvotes, then it wasn't worth saying.
That's all I'll say. Hope you had a good sleep. :)
- ColinWright 15y agoI appreciate your comments - thank you. I don't care about the karma for the sake of the karma. I care about the karma insofar as it reflects the sentiments of the community. I used to cross-reference duplicates of the same story because I thought it added value for people to see the different points of view from the different sources, and it helped avoid getting a split discussion with the same points made over and over and over again. It became clear from the down votes that the community as a whole didn't want that, so I stopped. On the rare occasions I think it's worthwhile to put such a cross-reference I'm always a bit sensitive to the reaction. I've always tried to be a useful member of the community and not simply say "screw 'em." My attitude is changing. I'll say no more. It was meta-discussion like this that got me a deal of hate last time. If you want to say more, email me.
