I'm just curious, what value do you place in Internet karma. Conceptually I get why people give a damn about it- but why do you, personally, care about imaginary Internet points?

I don't place any value on "Internet karma" (and I can certainly afford the hit, in any event). But I do enjoy HN and respect its goals, and I hate to see it attacked by what amounts to moderation abuse. The Internet doesn't need another echo chamber or another game room.
