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.

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.
Best one's are when I get to see there face; i.e. they've used http://www.bubblecomment.com to record their own thoughts using a webcam
To start this thing off:
My best received, at +23: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=292930
This was my worst, at -8, and probably deserving of even more punishment than it got: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=288268
