quote [ A sniper with Canada’s elite special forces in Iraq has shattered the world record for the longest confirmed kill shot in military history at a staggering distance of 3,450 metres. ]
Probably won't get into Guinness for this, everything else aside it's an impressive feat.

You have a point. The trick is not to take it personally (which is impossible when drunk or stoned). Just because the font gets littler and littler, or goes away at '5' and I have to give it a resurrection click, doesn't prevent me from reading the comment. And checking to see who downmodded it is its own entertainment.

Also: for the vast majority of 'resurrection click' comments, the reason is obvious: a reasoned argument or observation has degenerated into vapid name-calling. If the comment has been down-modded less than 5, there's still a good chance it's just a run-of-the-mill argument worth a read. So in that respect, the karma system does have value for me.
