    One of the dirty secrets of Slashdot is the editor's abuse of the moderation system. They mass-moderate comments in threads that they don't like, and sometimes even mod down all the comments of users they don't like. Even malicious users who don't like you for whatever reason can abuse certain moderations and not be penalized for it. Some misdirected noble users have tried coming up with ways not to play this moderation game, which is useless because Slashdot track karma by IP address. But, why should we inconvienence ourselves in order to suit the abuse of despots?

    I would like to take this opportunity to declare the opening of a petition for the Slashdot editors to fit the moderation system of Slashdot to the people. It is located here, and I estimate at least 1000 signatures are needed in order for the powers that be to take it seriously.

When McNabb first entered the league, I was like everyone else; I thought, "Wow, he's changing the way quarterbacks play." But now in the grim twilight of his career I realize that we had it wrong from the start. He wasn't changing anything. He had flash-in-the-pan written all over him - all style, no substance. Just like Kordell Stewart, that evil heroin-junkie, and the guy from that football league started by the WWF who had "HE HATE ME" written on his jersey, so to is McNabb nothing but a foul brute with no finese. Everytime Terry Bradshaw said something stupid about how great McNabb was, Joe Montana would fall down on the ground and begin spinning at high rates of speed. The Eagles were only in the NFC Championship because the idea of McNabb hadn't entirely fallen apart (but it was close - HE HATE ME and Stewart have long since fallen by the wayside) and the Eagles have a defense that can successfully defend against the worst in the league. The Bucs are a shitty team - there's nothing special about them at all. Come on, Keyshawn Johnson is an arrogant asshole and we all know that arrogant assholes never win when it REALLY counts. [Hi Barry Bonds! How are you? Enjoying the off-season? What's that on your finger? Oh, nothing? Hmm, no ring eh?
