Ask HN: What are your best and worst-received comments?

4 points| time_management | 17 years ago | reply

You can find your comments sorted by karma score at: http://searchyc.com/user/<your-id-here>

Once there, you can sort by ascending or descending score to see your best- and worst-rated comments.

My highest and lowest comments were purely smartass remarks:

I posted my #2 highest remark earlier today, and that one actually has some information content: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=391396

Upvote for your insight on the QFT thread. I'm not very familiar with quantum physics or 6-manifolds, but that link seemed very tenuous to me.

Highest scoring comment, at +132: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=372606 . Probably only rated so highly because lots of people agreed with the position I was arguing for.

Lowest scoring comment, at -3: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32150 . Probably only rated so lowly because of the five words "Yes, I am a genius".

Interestingly, both of those were direct responses to comments made by pg. I wonder if this is just coincidental, or if bringing pg into the picture tends to polarize people more.

Ooh, a greatest hits thread!

Best received: +53, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=240170

I've got 8 posts (out of 1248) tied for worst, at zero. I ain't linking to 'em. They are neither a source of pride, nor offensive enough to be of that much interest. ;)

Zeroes are the worst. Hell hath no fury like slight unpopularity.

Wow, I started going through my threads (because I didn't take the time to read that there was a sorted karma link!) and I was surprised how damn much I've had to say since I started posting here. It was a bit of a walk back through time.
