I think you have to look at a long range view of the interactions between posters. You have to look at the responses to posts over time and see if they more often veer towards gratitude, apathy, or annoyance...
I don't suppose it is predetermined by what is being said by the poster, but rather the reaction to it... If more people react in hostility than not, then we can say that a poster is doing more harm than good...
perhaps subjective... i don't know... its not a meter i would imagine should be applied to this board, but i offer it up as conjecture...
