Maybe get rid of the smiting, then?

So it's just a reward, rather than a way to cause mischief.

I know I'm proud of my TOTAL karma...

Smoking Gun has the most (presently 664) and tigga has the least (-457).  Does that just mean Smokes has more like-minded supporters?

Yes that's all it means.  But you can get that message also just by seeing the interaction in the threads themselves.  The back and forth replies lets you know who is like minded and who is not.

Personally, I love reading the comments attached more than the actual karma rising. It's a simple way to interact that is not derailing the thread, per se. That and yesh, I get all giggly when I think I've said something profound (mildly) and others agree.

Alsys..if the comments are truly more important than the site of your Karma number, that could be achieved via PM's as well.  You are the only one who can see the comments anyway, just like PM's and does not derail a thread.  Although threads have been derailed by Karma talk alone.  Plus you could still get giggly when someone responds positively to your post in a post back  Smiley

Hmmmm....

First off I just want to say thanks to all my like minded thinkers who have given me karma over the .....yikes.... years. I'd also like to thank those who are not  my like minded thinkers who have given me karma who did so because as alsys says, read something that they thought brought something to the table. I'd also like to thank Reality for letting me tickle her funny bone and giving me karma points for the caption contests. I'd also like to NOT thank Grats who has reminded me that I post way too much on this site... I used to be proud of the "ratio" to posts but I screwed that up a long time ago. I'd also like to thank tigga for screwing up his karma program by ditching all his other personnas and telecasting to everyone that he was going to be a real pain in the butt. I'd also like to thank Rummy for sending me endless PM's telling me I'm a kiss-ass whilst at the same time refraining from destroying my karma total by going on a smiting rampage. I'd also like to apologise to a few people who I should be giving more karma too. Actually make that everyone.

But the only thing that I truly take pride in is the fact that I can count on one hand how many smites I've ever handed out..... maybe two hands.... but definitely not three.... Undecided

Not really. I just took your advise which you got from me. Call it a self inflicted burst of reality. The milk was spilt, I cleaned it up and trying to move on.

A great day too all.

Rummy.

I guess I just question whether we get to hear people's real opinions vs. what they think people want to hear - aka Seeking Approval / karmaholic

Obviously with some members, it's their real opinion. But, other times it just seems like option #2.

Something Benevolous and I always discussed...

Good points Smokey dont smoke jokey.........We have been through this before. Personally I agree with you.

Everyone wants to be right. Me? I don't give a flying circus but hey don't cut me down because your life revolves around what you think others may think of you.

Just my thoughts and when they become subject of other opinions, they are still my thoughts.

Anyway.....screw yah....yoo maid sanz too mee.

Letz get together ann feel...emotions and how too cypher others.....

A great day/evening too all.

Gotta run...Obama been waiting horn dee lyne................so have I....... Kiss Smiley

Jokes - you really think people have the time to come on here and just make stuff up just to get karma? Hmmmm.... if you told me I could trade karma in for some Guinness then maybe you'd have a pint. Wink
