| Apr 8, 2017 at 13:53 | comment | added | Bart | It doesn't make you inherently wrong, no. But in this case, the comparison is so far out of whack that I'd suggest you study up on the atrocities actual nazis committed. I know it's a popular internet comparison to make, but it show a horrible lack of understanding at best, and is a shameful approach at a discussion at worst. | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:58 | comment | added | KyloRen | @DavidPostill, unlikely, I don't agree with many people so I don't think I will get my rep back. But that does not bother me. | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:56 | comment | added | DavidPostill | @Cai Maybe. But if he continues as he is he will never get his 5 rep back ... | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:53 | comment | added | Cai | @David I guess he was trying to comment on another post (comment privilege is 5 rep, OP has 1; he can only comment here because it's his own question) | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:53 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor | @KyloRen You actually have a good point here, but ranting and making comparisons to Nazi times isn't helping you to make it or to make yourself understood. Pro tip: try to make your points on meta calmly and rationally, and not let your anger get the better of you. (I say this as someone who went from calling mods Nazis to being one myself. I've been there, and made the transition from unpopular to respected. It is possible.) | |

| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:52 | comment | added | DavidPostill | @KyloRen "I cannot comment on a post you have made" That's clearly wrong as you have made many comments on Cai's post. Please get your facts straight. | |

| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:47 | comment | added | Cai | @Kylo Comment threshold here is already 5 (which is a single upvote) as opposed to 50 on normal sites (as downvoting is at 100 so everyone with at least 200 on another site can downvote, as opposed to 125 on normal sites) | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:42 | comment | added | Dan Bron | @KyloRen You're surprised unpopular opinions make you unpopular? In general, SE prefers to focus on facts, not opinions, and there's even a closure reason for "only likely to result in a battle of opinion", but on Meta, discussion is more encouraged, and opinions can be expressed. Opinions in general are not frowned upon. But expressing an opinion doesn't magically insulate you from criticism; in fact, the opposite, it opens you up to the response "that's a poor opinion". The upside of expressing an opinion is your voice is heard; the downside is you have to then listen to everyone else's. | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:40 | comment | added | KyloRen | @Cai, great, but I cannot comment on a post you have made. so that is conducive to a fair system? | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:38 | comment | added | Cai | What's wrong with the system? There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with people... hell, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing with everyone... why not use reputation as a way to indicate that? Or we scrap reputation and come up with some other indicator and then what's to stop people then complaining about that one? | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:37 | comment | added | KyloRen | @DanBron, but to everyone else and the site, you are considered inferior. So I am to assume that opinions are frowned upon here then? | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:36 | comment | added | Dan Bron | @KyloRen It doesn't "make you inferior" in some ontological sense, you still are who you are. What it does is make it clear how much your contributions are valued by the community, and thereby influence how much you can participate in the community (i.e. make further contributions). As to "being on the wrong side of everyone else", well, that tends to be a disadvantage everywhere in life. | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 12:32 | comment | added | KyloRen | Ahhh, so being on the wrong side of everyone else is makes you inferior? nice system. | |
