Entirely correct. Karma was already visible on a user's profile, and therefore worth something for that reason alone. Nothing has changed, and your fallacious attempts to argue otherwise are irrelevant.

Categorically incorrect. Dang is the HN mod. Him doing a thing obviously does not imply that it's ok for a normal user to do it too.

Because I strive to use logic, as a contrast to comments like yours, which use emotional manipulation ("pretty weird way", "I'm not quite so sure", "it sounds like") to try to manipulate readers into a feeling without using an actual argument, and meaningless buzzwords ("funneling") to make productive conversation impossible in the first place, and are inappropriate for HN.
You lack any form of logical reasoning in this reply as well. You just sound upset that an admin did something you don't want, but somehow understand already exists?
I think you are upset that HN is turning into Reddit, while also encouraging Reddit behaviour. That's the only logical conclusion to draw from your over-sized word sandwich out of nowhere.
