iCE's Modern Version Of Old-Fashioned Quilting Bee

Ant writes "tiles.ice.org is a Web site with a cool art idea as a tribute to Salvador Dali. It is iCE (remember ANSI art, you old school computer users?)'s answer to the old-fashioned quilt party, minus the gathering of elderly women. It's a unique opportunity for collaborative artwork on the net. A huge image, composed of individual 'tiles' is created, one piece at a time. The goal when making a tile is to mesh your work as smoothly as possible with the surrounding tiles, while creating something cool, artistic, and if applicable, on-topic. Check out the finished sample. I love the ants in the quilt tiles!"

Why Michael should be thrown into a broken CRT

[Anonymous Coward]

Stop michael Now

For literally years, the editor michael has been splattering his moronic influence all over this website. Now, if Slashdot were some dipshit site without any effect on the online world, that'd be all well and good, but I and I'm sure you too would agree that as editor of the most popular News for nerds website, michael has a responsibility to us. Amongst the many things that michael has done are:

• inserting biased editorialising [slashdot.org] into story blurbs by putting words in quotes [slashdot.org] to put Democrat-oriented stories into disrepute
• going off on rants [slashdot.org] in the article text in all caps, screaming and railing against Intel's 64-bit efforts
• posting stories that have been instantly archived, allowing no one to post, and then not fixing the situation for an hour and a half
• moderating to -1, Offtopic or -1, Flamebait anyone who contests his idiot behavior
• modbombing entire threads of dozens of posts to -1, Offtopic
• applying a bitchslap operation [slashdot.org] to users who disagree with him, setting their karma to Bad or Terrible [slashdot.org] and taking away their ability to ever moderate again
• abusing his editor position for his personal vendetta [slashdot.org] against his DSL provider, inserting irrelevant [slashdot.org], insolent [slashdot.org] comments in the department line.
• not explaining his actions
• hijacking domains [google.com] (and then having the audacity to admonish others for it [slashdot.org])
• posting blatantly false hoax stories, perpetuating the flow of misinformation (case in point: the tsunami creature story [slashdot.org])
• posting links to sites that have then been switched to goatse, and then not explain what happened afterwards
• not editing stories in light of new, overriding information
• posting stories with broken URLs
• posting stories in the wrong section
• posting consecutive dupes - only he, CmdrTaco and timothy have managed to do this

The list goes on and on. michael must go. Slashdot's not that great as it is, but he's just dragging this place down all the faster. What can we do? Taco ignores all emails about his beloved $20K-a-year staff; he trusts michael more than the opinion of his beloved readers. Taco won't do a thing unless we can hit him where it hurts - in the pocket.

How? Simple. Taco relies upon the insightful-sounding commentary that this site occasionally produces. (You'll notice he doesn't go to the trouble of modding it up himself - he leaves it to us!). Without it, people stop visiting and Slashdot becomes unprofitable. So, here's what to do if you want to oust michael and force Taco to fix Slashdot:

• install adblocking software like Privoxy [privoxy.org] to block adverts
• set your preferences [slashdot.org] to eliminate the slanted crap posted by michael
• don't put links to Slashdot URLs on your blog; link directly to the URLs that the Slashdot story includes
• don't post gen
