    Why are you reading this site?

    I'm sure this'll cost me, but I don't care. I'm fucking sick of whining, bitching and moaning from people about how bad slashdot sucks ON SLASHDOT. For the love of God. What the hell is wrong with you people?

    You do realize that you're the absolute prototypical hypocrite. Right?
    Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of stuff about Slashdot, just like everything else, that could use improvement. But directionless, solutionless criticism solves absolutely nothing.

    If you have a suggestion, make it. If you have a baseless complaint or a mindless comment about how bad the editors are, or how inappropriate a story is, wtf are you doing on the site to begin with, and certainly wtf are you doing posting in the story you think is inappropriate?!

    I'm sick to death of impotent eliteists dictating what a good story is and isn't... and then many of the same cloned complaints getting modded up. That's insane. It has nothing to do with the topic, it has no contributory value. It's meaningless diatribe.

    What makes me even MORE annoyed is that I've just wasted the last 10 minutes of my life, adding to the offtopic, worthless discussion because it just pisses me off so f**king much that people get a wicked, free service like slashdot, and then use it to complain about getting it.

    *deep breath*
    Ok. It's ok. 10 9 8 7...

    People that miss the joke are pretty funny themselves :)

    Humor? What's that, the stuff in your eye? (vitreous humor, for the people I'm referring to)
