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!

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.
I have heard it said that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.
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.
