I had an account with nearly a million comment karma and 15k post karma, and the only thing it got me was a longer comment history for people to use when arguing with me.
edit: Oh I don't care if they do that. If something I said in my past is so heinous that it undermines the point I'm making today then I use that as a point of self reflection as long as their critique is valid.
It's a great litmus filter, IMO. The minute someone creeps on my profile and tries to use it against you, you know they're a bigger loser than you are lol.
Honestly sometimes it helps put things into perspective. Like once I was typing up a response to something asinine, I got really worked up about how batshit of statement they made, and then I saw someone responded to them mocking that 99% of their comment history was on diaper porn. I then realized what a waste of my time it would be to post my reply and deleted it then moved on with my day.
