I meant per individual, actually. I think people are more likely to lash out than to express appreciation. Of course, some people appreciate others lashing out, hence the first rule of karma: it ends up at four stars.

I'm actually interested in knowing who gets karma votes, although the actual number isn't very meaningful. I'm willing to bet that most votes are for people who are offensive, not people who are nice, but I can't prove it without data.

1) Not be allowed to order off the kid's menu at Olive Garden.
2) Be too close to a senior citizen to buy a Happy Meal™ anymore.

4) Visit the marked-off section of the Wild Berry shop in town.
5) And more!

Fatman (Bismark, you *are* Fatman, right? I get confused), I remember having an argument with you about this as part of an ugly fight about the Crusades. Anyway, that was a case in point, as some extremely sketchy pieces of academia were cited.
