There is something I don’t understand. Are people voting now on the person instead of the article? I see that all of Elo’s recent activity is massively down-voted, and some of the posts might have deserved it. But certainly not all. I’m just curious whether if this post has been written by someone else, would it have been similarly down-voted.
It might not be among the core principles of this site, but it’s certainly not an uninteresting topic.
Eugine has added Elo to his list of targets (I’ve been one for ages and if this comment doesn’t have negative karma when you’re reading it, come back in a day or two and it almost certainly will) and his army of sockpuppets is downvoting Elo’s stuff into oblivion.
Why? Because Elo is likely to be involved when Eugine’s sockpuppet army is finally expelled from Less Wrong, and Eugine doesn’t like that.
it’s more like 20+. And the community is not active enough to fight. Once a post is invisible to a large fraction of the community there are significantly less people able to fight.

And it seems the community is not interested enough to counter the ten or so accounts which do this… :(

At this moment, the post is at −4 karma 44% positive, that is about 19 downvotes and 15 upvotes.
The active part of the community is not large enough to provide significantly more upvotes. Just look at how much karma an average article gets.
(And even if the community would be larger, if Eugine’s sockpuppets are automated, it wouldn’t ultimately make any difference.)
