You'd probably have more "luck" getting negative votes for saying something like this:
"The XP system is obviously broken, and should be altered to discourage XP abuse. For instance, I've received a lot of negative votes for nothing more deserving of negative rep than pointing out the blatant fallacies in someone's argument in favor of gun control, and in another case for defending a statement by the guy who says Perl is dying."
It's sort of a crap-shoot whether I'll get any negative rep for this one, though, especially since the existence of this post is specifically for the purpose of discussing the likelihood of getting negative XP (it's kind of a wildcard situation). The fact that the above-quoted two sentences are entirely true and accurate (with the exception that my opinion of the XP system isn't quite that harsh) might help, though.
