I can assure you he went on a trolling rampage because arguing and karma is a game. And us geeks love to argue and play games.

I am certain there are more like him and there will be a lot more in the future.

Having an absolute karma score and leaderboard no doubt encourage the game aspect of the thing.

Yes, absolutely.

I feel a bit guilty, though, since my posting this seems to have put me on the leaderboard for the first time. Talk about karma. :-/
