Absolutely correct. I know exactly who gives me negative karma and when and the reasons well...make me snicker, cause it's stupid.
Jealousy, envy, backstabbing, bitterness etc. they're all a part of life. There are a few who make it a rule to give me a negative karma everyday. I mean, before the forums went down I remeber my karma rising from -11 to -2 in two days. Then I was away for like two weeks and when I got back, it had dropped to -6. Since I was away for those two weeks no way could those 4 karmas have resulted from something I posted. There are people who openly admits to finding me annoying and hating me and people who act they are cool but really aren't, that is superficial and artificial people.
Also I am the one running most of the ban/kick/fail, etc scripts in #live-evil on IRC so someone who got banned by my script might have gotten pissed of and given me a - karma. But they need to learn this is not something personal, I am just doing it for proper channel maintenance (although I will have to tweak THAT script -_-). But I doubt these negative karmas were brought on by any of them. Just be sure it's one of my fellow fansub colleagues.
