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. On Mon, 11 Apr 2005 ****** wrote:

But its no different people won't be nice when your nice first. I try to say what others are saying and they get marked up? Not me as well? How can that be? 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.

If you don't want others to be confused to I suggest you think about changing your name to something that isn't obviously about hockey. I asked some coworkers and they agree, I'm not just some idiot. Come up with a name that means something."

    They are obviously retards since they insist on maintaining a broken system. Anyone with half a brain can see that it's broken.

    Wait, so by pointing out the fact that I've been proven right, I am in fact trolling? How does that work?

    Actually "karma" is one of the neatest checks in /.'s moderation system. Chances are if a user is modded down often enough, the user is a douchebag no one wants to read.

    Except in this case I went from excellent to terrible in a few hours because Slashdotters can't stand any criticism towards their precious moderating system. Which proves the system is corrupt beyond repair.

    Everyone gets modded down from time to time. Post in a political forum, or a religious forum, etc. you'll invariably be modded down by someone who is "offended" because you posted an opinion not in line with their own.

    On traditional forums you can't just push a button and mod someone down (and eventually drop their karma so low they have no choice but to abandon their account as unusable). You actually have to say something, and you can't do it anonymously either. Sounds pretty scary, doesn't it?

    All in all, it is a great system.

    Yes, if you're a lazy, corrupt and hypocritical anti-intellectual like the average Slashdotter.
