Are you interested in spreading knowledge, or are you interested in karma? If the former, why do you give a shit?
Isn't the whole point of displaying your karma score the way this site does to make you care about it? I know it works on me. I don't write the best comments I could, I write the ones I know will be upvoted.
This looks to be a really good class. I watched part of the first lecture today and it really is more about functional programming then Scala.

Shame on you.

So shame on him? I don't know. Major props for being honest.
One could argue you were subconsciously influenced toward posting a shaming comment because of the karma incentive.
Of course, you may just be joking as well.
It's certainly funny either way.
Some of the Coursera courses rock. In March I also attended the NLP course. Another course on compilers from Stanford is coming up.
I've started putting it together in small pieces but ML and NLP are tough topics to learn without some sort of instruction.
I have a pretty good grasp of Scala but I learned in sort of an ad-hoc fashion and I'm looking forward to learning what I imagine will be idiomatic Scala.

Meh. The community gets what it deserves based on what it votes for.
(At least, it is if "gets what it deserves" means "gets something it's got no right to anything better than" rather than "gets exactly what, in some kind of best possible world, it would get".)
Having said which, I don't think it's all that shameful to write what you think will get the most votes. But I'd rather you didn't.
For those in the DC area, the Scala DC meetup group is holding meetups to watch these lectures and discuss the material over the next few weeks. http://www.meetup.com/dc-scala
