the rate of growth is exponential actually, so by the end of that sentance assuming a start value of "2" on the revenge scale, by the end of it this person would rate a "8".
alternatively a good read grows by orders of magnitude.
Rambling is a sliding scale based on word count multiplied by spelling errors and lack of punctuation (also at the higher growth rate) divided by my bordom factor (a similar value to K).
Gratutious "bad" words are deduced geometrically and misuse of words is quadratic <(misused word x misspelling of it)(word it was supposed to be x time it took me to figure it out)>
remember that it is still based on values between -1 and 1 with 0 being the center of the curve and is statistically based on your length of membership, age, number of submissions, number of successful submissions, frequency of post, general attitude to others on this site, and sense of humour.
There are a few other factors but they are only used in placement of your post in one of the spring cleaning posts, so i wont mention those here.
Its kind of a neat bit of math to figure out the likelihood of public ridicule (aka revenge) for any given article.

Damn, if my OCD was that far out of hand I'd deserve whatever animosity I got.
