I don't care, because my Karma is high enough I have a cushion in case I get smited, and either way, it seems to me that I keep my posts mature and educated. Mostly.

Karma isn't exactly an accurate representation of people's worth. Just look at Rambo 6, he had double digits of positive karma and got banned for posting... Well, you know.

So basically there are a few good people with low karma and a helluva lot of people who deserve their triple digit negatives.

And yes, on occasion I will refrain from speaking my mind due to karma.

even I do.  I post because I want to please people, and that is what good karma is

We need an official guide to having good karma. :D

Not possible. It's pretty impossible to track hundreds of smites and applauds, since they happen almost every hour.

People smite me almost daily.  I stopped caring ages ago.  Seriously, does it really matter?

On that note, I would like to know who I pissed off this time around.
To sum up my point: We had a multipage debate about toilet padding. (Putting TP in the water so you don't get splashed.)
And we still don't know if dead guys can keep a stiffy.

It's also because you're too much like paramud. In fact, I bet you are paramud. Still haven't left?

I don't give a shit about karma. If people smite me, it's justified. If they applaud me they're probably out of their fucking mind but fine.

1) Who in the hell is paramud.

2) If my own intelligence and cynicsm are why I'm being smited, so be it.  And don't call me Wang Chung.

1) Who in the hell is paramud.

He was a member here who was so infamous for his stupid comments that making fun of him or tricking him into posting even more absurd comments was practically a forum pastime.

He's also the reason why you'll occasionally hear of people "pulling a paramud" (i.e., saying they're fed up with the forums, leaving, then coming back within the month).

So, in short, he was the forums' village idiot.  Nice.  I just got insulted by frogboy without even knowing it...

Yeah, that and he had some idea that he was smarter than everyone else, and had a whole facade about not caring about anything.
