Err no, the whole point is to reduce the karma for posts you want to...there is no right or wrong reason...however the safety measure of requiring x votes prevents personal grievances from spoiling things, hence in the end it won't make a difference whatsoever.

You've got to get over this perlmonks thing, sheesh you've mentioned the word perlmonks about 15 times in this thread. If you are that obsessed why not write your own plugin?....Alex requested a karma style plugin so thats what Im doing...ok?
