I wouldn't have dinged you - but I don't think that the comment really added anything. Since as I understand it the karma's supposed to be about improving the SNR that moderation seems reasonable.

If you'd justified why you felt that Ponzi had a "better" insight than Malthus then it would have been a useful contribution.

Yes indeed. I think your comment was too brief. A statement without justification is not particularly interesting to me, and I imagine others felt the same and downmodded you.

thanks that is the feedback i needed; it seems when an online community resonates with you this misleads you to think they would get anything you say. its a kind of projected myopia.
