Yeah, lets forget careful thinking and just support whoever had a good record previously regardless of what they say today.

The experience of reading a comment knowing the commenter's id makes up (a little bit at least) for the lack of face2face. For example, based on a previous discussion, I know that mixmax had sex with a porn star :) When I read his comments now, my brain does some signal processing magic using this. Please note that I don't give him a +1 coz of this history. But this knowledge puts warmth in an otherwise cold place (cold = place filled with strangers).

I should never have written that - how can anyone here take me seriously now?

:-) IMO your words carry more weight because of it... (more knowledge, experience etc)

Voted up, I agree.

Sorry...what were you saying? Why can't people take you serious? That's ridiculous.

Yes, necessarily biased. Severely in some cases, but there's only one way to prove that...
