But, he didn't offended anyone. Negative karma seems too harsh for a newbie and discourages them from participation. In real life, we don't do that to a person, if we think he is not adding value to the conversation.

No one at HN shunned this individual or even told him to leave, but until he learns the deal. I actually had negative 20-30 karma when I first came for doing the same, I took it as a challenge :)
