I stopped right here, looking at the posts of the user you said was under-merited:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=732010.  The first few pages of his post history are just his name in Games & Rounds, and that goes back to at least November.  Any other "posts" he made are just stupid thank you's or other garbage.  I'm assuming that's one of your alt accounts, because no one in their right mind would think that account's posts are merit-worthy.

Having said that, I don't think you ought to have gotten a neg for it.  That's between TMAN and you, however.  I would suggest to TMAN that Theymos doesn't want shitposters tagged anymore and although this is somewhat of a different situation, it's in the same ballpark.
