It's not ironic. The karma function came along with the forum software. The site's other function problems derive from incompatibilities between the site's previous formatting code and the one used by default on the forum software.
You know, I can't help wondering whether your experience of features like this might not be more in the trim if you made a conscious effort not to be so vituperative.

It's really an absurdly over-attended corner of the not-entirely consistent space of reason.

I think the karma function is the best thing that has ever happened to this, or any, message board. It encourages good philosophizing, and allows any user to easily discern who the truly worthwhile minds are here.

My final question on the topic is how many negative (idiot) karma points one can collect before being banned? Or is it just a simple ego game for the simple minded?

Poor thinking. Fallacious.

That exactly makes my point! Thank you!
Its a good ol boy/popularity club, where the 'different' and/or the 'honest' are punished, just like in the schoolyard...
Nice word 'vituperative', nontheless, but I have a 'better' one, and more relevent to philosophy; 'honest'!
I calls em as I sees em! Honest!
After all, someone has to.
I couldn't give less of a 'shirt' about a 'popularity' club of immature minds and egos.
