Think about the main demographic of VN.
I regard myself as reasonably hardworking, but I won't deny that I have a sense of humour and wouldn't mind getting drunk after year 12 and going up to the Gold Coast to have a good time, after all, regardless of how smart or hardworking most of the people here are, we're all human!

But I'm guessing you're implying that the demographic of VN/AN are nerds with no social life

I still think that it was harsh on him to get a -5, considering that he didn't even say anything that most people would find insulting, that's why I'm not a fan of the "-1" system, we should only have "+1" because most posts that get "-1" are not even bad posts - perfect example here!
