My personal feeling is that the high karma that you are speaking of is not a good use of time (for that reason). I know it has helped tptacek and some others but it takes considerable time (and is a distraction) to comment on HN and essent

"There are already laws in place to deter all of the outcomes of these actions." When have laws ever stopped bad actors? There are laws against breaking and entering, burglary and so on. Does that mean you don't lock your hou
