    There is no difference between this and downloading Warner's shows off non BBC torrent site.

    "Mod me Troll, it's obvious I couldn't care less"

    False.

    You care enough to notice, and post a reply whining about it. Obviously, you could care less than you do.

    I got a reminder from the TV licence people the other day, so I called up and asked for a direct debit form be sent to me. On reflection, I've decided I'm not going to pay for it. I've moved my TV to the opposite side of the room away from the aerial point (which got barely any reception anyhow) and am quite prepared for an inspector to come round like they threaten. I use my TV for video out from my PC only now.

    They can fuck off if they think I'm paying £130 a year just because I own a television. I have a moral objection to the BBC anyway. Their news site is top notch though, plenty of coverage of my home town of Ipswich lately!

    The thing is that the people who do that majority of the modding have an unlimited supply of points. They are the editors of the site and they moderate to further the site's message and pander to its demographic. Slashdot is about making high school and college undergrad kids feel smarter than everyone else, and about promoting the business interests of Slashdot, OSTG, and VA Software.

    If anyone actually believes that a for profit business would allow the 'community' to determine the marketing message delivered by one of its business units they are severely deluded. The editors do nearly all of the moderating here.

    I was implying I couldn't care less about the Karma hit. But thanks for playing.

    That's silly. All you have to do is actually take part in the moderation, and see the impact your own moderation has, then multiply that by the number of registered users on /., to understand that you're wrong. But you're AC, so you're just speculating out of ignorance, or a troll. If the latter, IHBT, and will HAND.
