&#62;  I assume the 65% rule was put in place to handle abusive semiautomated voting.<p>I'm not sure I understand how that's materially different than what you are doing?<p>So the vast majority of the time when you <i>do</i> go to vote on a comment, it's a downvote? I <i>know</i> that you didn't get a karma in the mid-20k's by having people do that to you -- perhaps they should have. As this discussion is revealing, the <i>system</i> has artificially capped you at 65% but by your own admission it would be some significant percentage higher than that?<p>I'm not sure which adjective I could use to describe such malevolent behavior...."shocking" comes to mind, but so does "abusive".<p>I mean, I'm sitting here stunned. This means that you click the little down arrow at a rate almost 2x the rate you click the little up arrow. And that's only because the system has capped you to that "low" of a downvote rate. Given your druthers it would be higher. Or to put that into perspective, that's ~15 <i>thousand</i> points of your current karma score if this site gave you a point for every vote you doled out.<p>So that I can not loose all faith in humanity, I have to ask this honest question:<p>Do the things people have to say around here either not make an impression on you so you don't bother voting ever, and when you do it's only out of some kind of indignant revulsion and you've only voted some trivial number of times, like 3 times total? (Please say yes).<p><i>and people seem to not comprehend my bitching about the downvote hoards on HN</i>
