Journal DeadCatX2's Journal: Posting anonymously

Man, someone should really have some sort of collection of slashdotting tips.

I found a pretty neat page today thanks to a comment that was sitting at score 1. To expedite the process of getting the fascinating comment modded up, I posted one of those "mod parent up" posts.

I got accused of karma whoring.

Now, was I whoring the other person, or myself?

I don't see how I was whoring myself, as the goal wasn't to get my post modded up.

I wasn't whoring the other person, because their post eventually got modded up, anyway.

It then occurred to me that this is what the "post anonymously" thing is for.

Methinks I should post anonymously more often (on the rare event that I do post). My mistake, I took a karma hit, whatever, I'm still positive so that's all I care about. I'll never make it to "much excellent karma, here start at score 2 all the time", nor do I care to. But man, some people. I'm fucking new here, can't you see the near-seven-digit user number?
