troll8901's Journal: Gut-driven reactions vs experience

My carefully crafted (debatable) messages are mostly ignored (neither replies nor mods).

My one hastily written message, relating something from my work experience, got rated "Score:2, Interesting". And also attracted a reply, "It is nice to have some feedback from someone who has actually tried something of the sort, instead of the usual gut-driven reactions."

I guess that's the difference.

I still have Excellent karma, but karma is useless when everyone else ignores you. So I think I'd rather risk my karma and begin actually writing from experience and, um, insight (debatable, heh).

P/S: How do I hide the asterik? The FAQ mentions "no karma bonus" but it doesn't seem to hide the asterik.
