That, said I’m curious to see the results of this, will your comment be downvoted more or will this comment be? In fact, I’ll even add a handicap, I just gave your comment a strong upvote. To be honest, I think most people are past the anger stage and more focused on how to improve it next year.
Expectation that having principles that are just given up when push comes to shove is a really dangerous precent to set. It would turn any talk in a stressful moment to be unreliable “cheap talk”.

I disagree. Having a culture of retroactively rewarding and punishing people is an important precedent to set.
I’d say 58% my comment receives more downvotes:) But I stand by it—until convinced otherwise with arguments, not points!:
actually, maybe I already changed my mind. see my reply to Ben’s comment.
I also appreciate that you played along, so part of me also want to upvote your comment
