That's like saying "I'm just a teacher" or "it's only murder."
Why so dismissive? Any democratic election is "nothing more than a popularity contest."
What could be more important on a community forum than the opinion of the population? What other value does a public post have but to garner reaction from the public?
I'd find somewhat disingenuous if not downright pathetic for someone to post publicly and then claim they don't care what people think. That's what diaries and journals are for.
Man, you're putting way too much into this karma thing. Karma is essentially meaningless. Rarely do I give it out for informative posts, because that's the standard for boards such as this. I mostly give it out for the funny stuff.
