This is my 91st post...well, it should be. I'm learning not to trust the math in this environment. It seems to be of the fluid, banana republic nature. Take for instance:
I clicked on my control panel and looked up my karma history for chits and giggles and discovered something shocking. What should have been a sea of red dots (accompanied by foaming, party-whore commentary) was a tad more mixed. I've actually enjoyed nine yays, one abstention, 10 nays (including two for my excellent idea to arm holy-rollers with Tec-9s as a way to thin their herd) in my tenure here.
Seems strange that such a close tally would result in a karma rating of 0/-3,292,220. Sounds like somebody has his hand in the ballot box. And how does one manage to rack up three million negative points on a board that serves an area with a population of barely 300,000? I suspected that I might be the victim of monitor bullyism. Perhaps, they are fining me 500,000 karma points every time I bichslap poor, hapless Trevor Bothwell. But, if that was the case, I should have far less than -3,000,000 points. Maybe I should go boot him again for good measure...
What does -3,292,220 actually mean, anyway? I'm quite sure it's mathematically worthless. Maybe it's supposed to mean that I'm a baaaaad boy. "Don't hang out with soul4sale. He's one of THOSE guys. His way leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. And hate leads to Awesome."
I regret to say that this public shaming doesn't seem to be having the intended effect. I think...yes...I'm quite sure: It's making me cool. You heard me, squares, your bright, green, happy karma bars just indicate that you're a bunch of brownosers. Everyone knows that being antisocial is sexier.
I'm off to tear holes in my jeans and find a Metallica T-shirt...losers.
