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.

Sick in mind body and soul. Why your people deem it necessary to use the language that they do I can never understand. 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.

Come up with a name that means something."

This made me laugh out loud. Funny how stupid people always think they're smarter than they are.
can't tell if you're trolling, but this is just the weekly crossover from idle.slashdot.org.
Its the /. topic section for totally random waste of time nonsensical sort of things. Its late on a Friday and they feel like sharing once a week some of the random, potentially humorous mail they get.
I actually find them fairly entertaining each week.
I believe the reason that idle has been thrown up on the front page has to do with advertiser pressure (holy cow, look at those guys at Digg and stuff! They got craziness, why don't you?..). Just a hunch.
Sometime soon this section will die a slow death, but the stinking corpse will still lay around for all to see. Kinda like Slashback or those regular friendly fireside chats Cmdr Taco started (and then stopped) all those years ago.
I am Slashdot. Are you Slashdot as well?
It's a fact that the system is broken.
He's right, but for a different reason. Even after all of his utterly useless "100% valid comments" getting downmodded to flamebait, he's still posting with a Karma bonus.
A completely public mod system. If you downmod someone, and I don't approve of your moderation, then I can filter your moderations in the future. Also allow controls for recently created accounts to prevent advertisers from spamming new accounts, and you're done. Better moderation system achieved.
"Who is the Journal of Quantum Physics going to believe?" --Stephen Hawking
Yes, he's exaggerating, but his point is valid. It's very rare when meta-moderating that I find a downmod that doesn't have to be marked unfair.
And then there's also the bullshit upmods. Like blatant outright lies being modded +5 informative.
Every time someone gets mod points, they should be forced to look at the section of the FAQ designating what different moderations mean before they get to use those points.
Am I the only person that had the sudden urge to register hockeydot.org and have it redirect to Slashdot?
Check this out: Hockeydot.net.
Yeah, I know, slashDOT, hockeyDOT...right. It's a weak connection, but the sender was a weak idiot. I would expect this kind of stupid logic from a person like him.
Man is the animal that laughs.
And occasionally whores for Karma.
That's a logical fallacy: affirmation of the consequent. He could get flamed for many reasons, so we can't conclusively say that his posts are flamebait because they drew flames.
...
But we can say that it is very VERY likely
