Slashdot Mirror
Slashdot's Disagree Mail
Everyone likes to belong to something. Whether it be for fun, a sense of belonging, or a need for attention, a group gives you a feeling of solidarity. Surrounding yourself with people that share common goals and ideas can be comforting. Sometimes however, you realize that you hate the people you've surrounded yourself with. Your religion doesn't allow you to read anything that has profanity or you've subscribed to Slashdot thinking you could learn more about hockey. This week's collection is composed of people who don't want to play, read, or be associated with us anymore. Read below to find out how bad they want out.

If I'm the same how can they not act the same to me. It's like you have to be around forever before they won't say bad things about your comments. I thought it was different but they are just as BIG COCSUCKERS!!!!! Take my account and throw it away I've had enough of the newbie bigotry and FUCKING UNFAIR LIES."
Being just like everyone else is harder than you think. This next guy at least isn't concerned about being accepted. He has a clear vision of what he wants out of life. His vision is a world without profanity.

Women, children and people of faith will never be able to learn what you have to impart because of the filth you are tending in this rank garden. Please stop sending me email."
This next guy had me puzzled. I'd never had a complaint from fans of Guns-N-Roses, horror movies or unsound logging practices about the confusing "Slash" part of Slashdot.

What? Hold the horses, here! There is something to be learned from Slashdot? And here I thought it was a place for over-opinionated (and often bored) tech folks committing the equivalent of mental masturbation.

Am I seeing this right!? I don't have a problem with the idle section, but this isn't even worthy of an Idle thread.

Why your people deem it necessary to use the language that they do I can never understand
We're a VB.Net shop. The language was forced upon us. We don't like it any more than you do. Sorry.
Maybe you should write slashdot an email to complain.
echo -e 'global _start\n _start:\n mov eax, 2\n int 80h\n jmp _start' > a.asm; nasm a.asm -f elf; ld a.o -o a;

Oh yeah? Well I suggest you think about changing your name to something that isn't obviously about ninjas.
Including the -1 you just got? ;)
All I can say is that if your faith is shaken by if someone says fuck (or other profanity of choice) or not, it must be some pretty weak faith.
On that note: Cock!

Perhaps he should try underscoreslashdot.org ( "_/." ).

Registered. I'll have it redirecting to this story shortly.

I'm sure the guy was equally pissed that digg.com is not about shovels and holes.
And The Onion. Don't even get him started on The Onion.
Operator, give me the number for 911!
I actually enjoyed that email, 'cause I can understand where the kid was coming from. Until you've got positive karma, you might as well be posting directly to /dev/null most of the time. I posted for months before I got a karma bonus, and then, all the sudden, I'm getting posts modded up on a regular basis.
I didn't find it quite as frustrating as this kid did, but that email really shows how I'm sure thousands of "outsiders" feel about slashdot. Slashdot's tendency to weed out all but the most dedicated keeps the signal-to-noise ratio extremely high, but it probably drives away many, many potential posters.
Seriously? You can't tell the difference between someone saying "Fucking thing sucks! We'll do it live!", and "HOLY FUCK THERE'S A HOLE IN MY ABDOMEN AND MY FUCKING SPLEEN IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT!"?
I seriously doubt that rappers really have trouble getting medical attention whenever they need it. Really, how do you imagine that scene working out in your world? "Oh, I'm sorry Mr. DMX. When you said 'Bitch, I got shot in the knee - I need a fucking ambulance', I thought you were just experimenting with some new lyrics"?
Clearly, he knows what he is talking about. I mean, he said so THREE TIMES. Come on, would ANYONE repeat themselves THREE times if they weren't right?
... Three times! What an argument! I can't believe that you would even TRY to contest his absolute knowledge, he is clearly correct. clearly!
Really
No doubt about it.
Three times sure.
really.
COME ON MODS, FIGHT ME YOU FAGGOTS
What? Trying to pick a fight? Moi? Clearly you have no idea what picking a fight means, YOU DAMN FAGGOTS
DRM: Terminator crops for your mind!
Maybe you get modded "Flamebait" and "Troll" because they're closer to "Douchebag" than any of the other choices
I never notcied this before but he's right. There's not nearly enough hockey on this site.
I was befuddled as well. Trying to find out what the connection was, I googled "hockey slash". Oops. ... page after page of hockey player slash fiction.
I stole this sig from someone cleverer than me.
Almost every single downmodding that occurs on Slashdot is completely unjustified
Preach it brother! Why, just the other day I was posting interesting goatse links and hilarious nigger jokes, and I kept getting modded down by fascist moderators.
