    Are there any plans to link the karma system to journals too, so I can give someone positive karma on journal entries which I found enjoyable/clever/deep/whatever?

    I know the journals are a bit all over the place at the moment and there is still work to do (I gather subscribing to journals is still not working), but just thought I'd suggest it for the future.
    At the moment you'd have to find an old post by the blog author, give them karma, and mention "not for this post, but for your journal entry, I liked it because xyz"

    People getting negative reputation for posting in their own journal ... Not a good scenario in my opinion.

    hmm, I see your point... maybe a somewhat Orwellian option of just positive karma... or nothing.. :p

    I don't like the idea of Karma, positive or otherwise, being linked to the journals.

    A journal isn't something that's really there for the approval/disapproval of others. The comments feature should be sufficient really. If you like someone's journal entry you should just put a comment after it.

    I see your point alright, and comments are usually a good way to go, but since the karma system came in I've found myself wanting to give good karma for a good journal entry. I can understand the dodginess of giving bad karma, mind you.

    I suppose I could stick to my other technique of giving karma for journal entries of putting it on a post of theres and mentioning it.

    That threesome is looking less and less likely with every snide comment you make. Your girlfriend won't be impressed.

    Because your reply delt with humour directly after a post on what said poster finds funny. Twas a logical assumption.

    WOW butting in when its not your turn really is fun!!

    Yeah I agree with the whole, its my journal and I dont care what you think thing.

    I could just as easily have been making a generalised comment directed at Crash, Amz and Boston or indeed at any one of the 3.

    Of course, I didn't use the quote option which I'd normally do if replying to someone (see this post as a reference) and I've never felt the need to be ambiguous when following up to Boston.

    Of course, one mans logic..........

    (incidently, speaking of butting in, I believe I directed my question directly at Boston, so its a bit hypocritical for you to comment on me butting in).

    I dunno, its hard to find a well thought out constructively critical post these days. I blame the falling standards of education......

    What the hell does this even mean? I know it has to be an insult but I can't quite figure it out as a sequiter. Is he just calling Boston a gibbon? Or is it a play on the idiom of "starting to talk"? It's like insults within insults.

    Oh, it's a tangled web he weaves!

    Its the latter.

    I'm going to have to start lowering myself to using "YORE MA!" and "SPAZMO" for you people.

    Have none among you read the dry, cutting, satrical wit of Wilde, Twain and Elliot?

    *sigh*

    I am so alone! :(

    It was supposed to be a joke more than anything but yes thats what I meant.

    Dont you find wilde repetitive, I mean, he seems to reuse a lot of the same plots.
