Wow, this thread..... I lol'd.
I very rarely lose Karma points. Whenever I do its the same as everyone else. I have no clue what I said. I love it how I went from 10 to 5 for making a joke that obviously went over 2 peoples heads because they dont read the board enough. Within my first week of discovering this board I was involved in multiple discussions about sexism and a few other touchy subjects. I came out of those threads without any e-grudges being held against me, or any negative karma. Just because the negative karma option is there doesn't mean you have to use it!!!!!!!

I'm tellin ya, the Northeast represents on this board. I think I'm going to start saving all my Karma points for this thread.
Seriously, I try to be real cool on this board. I really do enjoy debating my point, but this is just a different environment from any board I've posted on in the past.
However, no matter where you go on this planet there are still people who are way too sensitive for their own good. Now I'm getting nasty PMs and bad karma for making this joke in another thread. It was in no way shape or form directed towards anyone. I didn't even quote the OP.
My other computer crashed...... Does this mean they're doing artist additions? I just found out my girlfriend has crabs........ Does this mean they're doing artist additions? A Homeless guy outside just claimed to be the second coming....... Does this mean they're doing artist additions? 2+2=4................ Does this mean they're doing artist additions? Red means stop, green means go................ Does this mean they're doing artist additions? My jaw clicks when I eat.............. Does this mean they're doing artist additions? My dog pooped in my slippers............. Does this mean they're doing artist additions? My cat ate it.................. Does this mean they're doing artist additions? Wayne from the Flaming Lips............ Does this mean they're doing artist additions? Tool isn't a "heavy" band................. Does this mean they're doing artist additions? "I have pop pop in the attic"............... Does this mean they're doing artist additions? I can't "afford" Bonnaroo................. Does this mean they're doing artist additions?
I thought it was funny...... I thought anyone who posts here regularly would find it funny. Guess not.
Wait. Are you saying they're doing artist additions? Haha just kidding. My personal favorite though: Wayne Coyne From The Flaming Lips............. Does this mean they're doing artist additions? Great stuff.
Example of someone who reads the board enough to get the joke.
I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!

I read this board roughly 6 six times a day, I got the joke, I just didn't think it was funny.
I think that at this point you are getting smited for perpetuating the conversation, as well as the "creative editing" which you used when quoting your initial post. If you stop talking about it, the problem will just go away.
I gave you karma nonetheless, in keeping with the spirit of the thread, and so you know I'm not being a hater, just critical.

To clarify, there was absolutely no intention in leaving that out. I don't even think what I said is even the least bit inflammatory. I believe it was part of a seperate paragraph in the post. I just went and copied the joke itself. I just got home, this thread jumped 2 pages since I was last here. Im just catching up and getting my .02 in. I dont hold petty e-grudges, so this particular topic will more than likely be a ghost to me after this.
I love this board. Seriously. Its the first board I've posted on this much in god knows how long. Good, bad, sad or glad. I wish I could buy you all VIP tix and lapdances from the lead singer of Gogol Bordello.

I know no one's said it, but just for the record, I never smited stuckinutero because of his opinion. (Although I should because apparently it's people like me who are destroying the country, as his PM said, so why not destroy his karma rating as well??!) Others must have found it offensive and/or silly.
I read these boards everyday, I just don't post with every thought or comment I have. I also got the joke, it didn't go over my head as you said it did. It just wasn't wise to comment on a thread you're tired of and want to go away...that only keeps it going.
Hi everybody Can we all please remember that we are here to have fun? Please?I am fairly new here and ran in with joy in my heart to a new and wonderful place filled with great people excited as I was about Bonnaroo.What has happened to that feeling. If you were at the concert and some obnoxious jerk approached you, wouldn't you just walk away?Let's try that approach. Smeman
Reality is indeed the absence of Bonnaroo... Happy karma for busting out my favorite quote in the whole world! Megan & Boz, you are wonderful.
(and since this thread seems to be one for crying our karma sorrows, I would like to point our that I have lost nearly 30 karma in the past week, and I have said nothing controversial at all.)
is it just me or does karma cause more evil then good? i think a person should be able to opt out of the karma system or inforoo should just get rid of it all together. now we are talking about how unearned karma is being givin out. how do you earn something that has absolutly no value other then in your head? its causes so many arguments. its just annoying imo. maybe 1 karma point a day would be better. at anyrate skip me after this because im giving my karma to dani. ive been giving her karma and it still goes down. and for no reason. but seriously we should just get rid of karma. let real life karma handle the situation. but just to keep in the spirit of the thread i will give mattland karma in an hour. not here to rain on anyones parade. it just seems like a silly system to me.

The karma on the board is just for a little fun. We all know it is not the real kind. Don't we? I like it, it is a little game we play to help us pass the time before the 'roo. Just a little thanks, or I don't agree with your attitude.
When people play the game in a mean spirited way, well that just goes to show you their level of maturity, their depth of character. When the ones who don't play nice, or like to argue about everything, spew, I think those who do play nice can see it for what it is.
I like to pull for the underdog, the ones who are smitten who are not deserving of it and I like to know when it is happening to a bud so I can help make things right again. I hope to lead by example most of the time and hope the nay-sayers will at least stop for a minute and say hmmmmmm.... why am I getting bent outta shape over something so insignificant. I could be having a peaceful easy feeling about my world instead of getting my panties in a wad over something someone said.
Conflict helps us grow and mature. I don't think we should try to stamp it out. When we do, I think that many times it just makes us think up another rule to follow.
I am happy to bestow my Karma point for the hour on you Mr. Stanky, for you add so much to the world of inforoo. And, inforoo is our lifeline to Bonnaroo, where we do get to have that peaceful easy feeling.
i agree. its just a silly system that shouldnt be taken seriously. but unfortunatly it is taken seriously by some. there are atleast 5 threads on inforoo that are dominated by karma and/or arguing about karma, and yes, i am including my karma thread. just seems to cause more problems then anything. but again in keeping with the spirit of the thread i choose to whine in and perpetuate exactly that which i complain about i got your karma laura!!! ;D (you deserve it anyhow, i enjoy your positive posts!!)
Laura gets my karma point, even though she is a Gamecock. My karma has gone down since I last visited the site, bout an hour ago. What's that about? Plus Dude(Stank McNasty--nice handle) said he was giving me some. I was ambivalent about karma until this thread; probably b/c it's alway been low.
I guess it's just like a little game, but if that's true I've been losing since day one and continue to do so. Good thing it's only a message board.
How 'bout them baseball 'cocks, matt! I'm not enough into sports enough to be a real Gamecock, though. I did hear they are doing well lately on the baseball field while the sports were on the news last night.
Unless the exalters or smiters tell you, you can only guess who might be socking it to ya'. That's the best part of the game! ;D
I'll go ahead and tell you mattland, I will give you my Karma for the hour, since you seem to be running low right now.
Remember you catch more flies with sugar than vinegar, in case you're into flies ;D

I do go against the grain with many on the board when it comes to politics so I expect to have a lower Karma......however I gained like 90 of my 107 points in like 2 days. A few people ganged up on me. I aggree the Karma thing should be revamped or be done with. However I do get a kick out of people who care so much about me they go out of there way to smite me each hour. It means something I said to them they are still thinking about or pondering and considering this is a message board that means my point was Made ...now whether u like it or not is an entirely different story
