goldspider asks: "I hope this is received in the spirit it was intended in. In a recent Reuters article, the Internet as a whole has been referred to as 'collateral damage' of the U.S.-led War on Terrorism, because of the perceived loss in privacy and online rights as a result of post-9/11 legislation. I am curious to hear about some specific examples of how this legislation has personally or professionally affected the everyday lives of Slashdot readers."

    As of this writing, my original post was moderated to Score 0: Flamebait. Just the open-minded thinking I would expect for Slashdot. Openness to any ideas, as long as they don't conflict with your own. This is the exact same reason I left Everything2. Disagree with me all you want, but I'm only speaking my side of things.
