Slashdot's Disagree Mail
I realize that sometimes it's hard to figure out when you've crossed the line. It just seemed so obvious in this case that I wasn't sure what to write back. The other thing to remember here is that this guys name was a synonym for excrement, joined with a sex act.

Don't get me wrong I like Slashdot but if you are a newlywed and you want to spend more time here than with your new wife, you married poorly. Maybe if you did some more "working" on your wife, you'd find something much better to do in the dark than read Slashdot.

"I know you're busy but was wondering if you can help me out. I really like reading Slashdot but my new wife hates how much I check it during the day. She says that I should check on her as much but we both know that she doesn't update as much :-). LOL but really she doesn't. I thought I could teach her how cool gadgets and geeks are but she doesn't believe me and won't even try. I'm sitting in the dark down here right now so she won't see me. I've rambled enough what I want to ask of you is that maybe you could post more girl kinda stories. She likes horses and has had them since she was a little girl maybe something about horses. If you can't I understand but would really reallly appreciate it. If you can even mail me some stories you find that she might like just mail me the URL and maybe together we can convert her. I really want to read more and talk to her less. If you could work on her for me I'll be the most loyal reader ever."
This is one of my favorite mails of all time. Getting propositioned to bend the rules at work is the type of thing that is usually reserved for politicians or people working concert security. This lady proved that Valentine's Day can be lonely and there is nothing someone would not do to post to Slashdot.

It goes on for a couple of paragraphs, I'll spare you the details except to mention that the word "enter" was tattooed in a few places that you can probably imagine. To be honest at this point I was hoping I would find an Esc tattoo somewhere. She ends with:
"... I couldn't be more serious. I have a feeling that we can work something out that we both would enjoy."
So actually, it was 1 person who wanted back in, some guy claiming a /. story about horses will save his marriage, and... ah. Perhaps the real reason for this lamest of front page stories?-
An opportunity for a little light boasting. I bet chicks would dig me if I too edited Slashdot....
"Be light, stinging, insolent and melancholy"
It's decided. We need more OMG PONIES.

No really, what was her user name... you know, just out of curiosity...

In the words of Larry the cable guy. That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

What does Slashdot being free have to do with moderation? Same thing goes for free forums; if the topic is set on hardware, you discuss hardware and not sodomized goats. You're free to express whatever view you have, but since certain rules apply to the commentary system, you must also respect it. Furthermore, they don't forbid you to post unrelated comments. But they do have authority to delete it if you're not playing by the rules.

Wow, way to disprove the slashdot stereotype.
What doesn't kill you only delays the inevitable
If you spend more time on Slashdot than with your newlywed wife, I'd say you probably need some serious counseling. Like, right now.
Oh, and in case you missed it, Slashdot did, at one time have a story about ponies. ;) OMG PONIES!!!!

Or is this Slashdot's way of making all readers register so they can filter out Idle?
Seriously, if we really must be subjected to this crap surely to goodness there have at some point been some real genuinely amusing e-mails rather than this rather obvious trollish piss taking we're currently being shown. Honestly, anything rather than this, amusing anecdotes of the editors journey into work, his relationship with his stepmother or the black family who have moved in down the street anything would be better.

Perhaps soon we will see "no more idle" mails in Slashdot's Disagree Mail? I mean, those mails must be piling up, right? :)
Or has this already been done?
Please make it stop. I can't decide if it's because it's (a) short, (b) unfunny, or (c) just lame, but make the disagree mail go away. Soon.
Seriously? You don't like these stories, yet when you see them on the front page, you put your dislike aside, click on the link and take the time to post a comment. So, despite your claim, here you are, getting entertainment from the thread. Seems to me that these stories are doing their job...
SJW n. One who posts facts.
In the last disagree mail but... When did slashdot become somethingawful?
Please make it stop. I can't decide if it's because it's (a) short, (b) unfunny, or (c) just lame, but stop making comments. Soon.
If it says Idle... don't read it? Why do people complain? Even the FRONT PAGE of slashdot says "Idle is a complete waste of your time, don't go there". This goes to show how many idiots will still post how much they hate something they are reading, even knowing they don't like it BEFORE reading it. What's next, going to a Microsoft forum and saying how much you hate Microsoft?

But we can be treated equal.
He hasn't figured out how to translate girl-language ... seriously kid - if you want someone with your interests you're pretty much going to have to marry a guy. What you need, is a girl language to guy language translation toolkit! Unfortunately, no one has made one yet. However... Translations exist! ... When a girl says, "You always read /. instead of paying attention to me!" what she's really saying is, "I feel like we haven't spent a lot of time together lately, and I miss you." Close the laptop then and there, and make some time for your girl (if you want to keep her).
Marriage is all about compromise. You don't have to have the same interests, but you do have to live together - which means sucking it up and talking about horses sometimes.
Furthermore, stop sneaking around in your own home! That's just retarded.
That first guy exemplifies a very common misconception about free speech, that because you have the right to say what you want (true), you have the right to force other people to provide you a forum for that speech, publish that speech, etc. (false). The principle of free speech says you should have as much right as CmdrTaco to create a Web site to talk about whatever it is you want to talk about, not that you should be able to hijack someone else's.
If McCain had showed up at the DNC and told them they had to give him the floor for an hour to tell everyone why Obama is a lousy candidate, the convention organizers would rightfully tell him, "Your convention is next week, talk about whatever you want there but at this one we have a liberal, pro-Obama message". It's also why spam blocking is not a free speech issue like the spammers try to paint it as. You have the right to say whatever you want about your product, but not the right to force me to receive or read your messages.
It's really just a case of your right to swing your fist ending where the other guy's face begins.
And yet you continue to read it.

I gotta ask.
What the hell is a "motuh" and why would anyone want it licking their ears?
Slashdot definitely needs more articles about Horsies and Princess.

Are you kidding? I normally mod the "funny" posts down by 5 so I don't have to see them.
These, however, are fantastic!
Honestly, you cannot make this stuff any funnier.

seriously... what does /. have to do with anything today? I can't even remember what I liked about Slashdot before I stopped reading it daily in late 2001.
I feel sorry for the quality of Slashdot today. It's like having to read(!) FOX News and CNN whinge about retarded, non-geeky bullshit.
Good bye. You're too shabby for my precious troll art.
Still waiting for the ability to keep this tripe out of my customized /. page.

I'm always highly amused by people characterizing the Democratic party as "liberal".
To be "Liberal" is "to be willing to consider new things" which sure don't describe any mainstream political parties in this nation. The Democrats are trying to shop Bill Clinton in a darker skin tone (having failed to re-sell him in a different gender). Even the Republicans are just shopping tired old Reaganism with a glossy wrapper pasted over it.
To be "Conservative" is to be "unwilling to change old things that still work" which also does not describe either party these days, though it arguably can still be applied to many individuals within the US power structure (like Ron Paul, Russ Feingold, or Robert Byrd).
Calling the Dems liberal involves two layers of koolaid-guzzling self-deception - first, you have to believe liberalism is somehow either inherently good or inherently bad, and give up any consideration of nuances related to specific issues, and then in some way convince yourself that this overly simplistic view is somehow being represented by entrenched power brokers who haven't changed their basic stance on anything in decades.
It's like believing the Republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility. Pure Orwellian doublethink.
exactly my point. where are all the other microsoft haters at all the vista is the greatest OS eva forums?? micro means small and soft means soft
Hey! I actually liked these e-mails. This idle thing is getting better every week!
Please, for the love of god, stop replying to people who post about how much they hate disagree mail! No one wants to listen to stupid people telling stupid people how stupid they are for saying stupid things about how stupid the stupid disagree mail is! I'm sick and tired of reading all of this useless drivel in this most holy of slashdot sections. There are much more important things to be discussed in the idle section.

You know what I hate.. I hate when I buy a mother board and the bios supposedly is supported by the vendor but it turns out that it really doesn't. When that happens it makes me want to find a Brazilian Malamute (which is just like a regular Malamute but has had it's butt waxed) and just have my way with that beast.
If I don't, I'll get dragged out of the basement by trolls. The ponies told me so.

Because not EVERYONE can see it IS idle. If you use the /. RSS feed you do NOT know if something is "idle" or not.
/. must persist with this digg-based, lowbrow "idle" crap -- despite a large number of users complaining -- then they should at least remove the titles from the main RSS feed or put "IDLE:" at the beginning of every article title.

Then, those of us who do not wish to read this shit can avoid it. That seems fair, does it not?
...how will anyone in authority know we hate the Disagree Mail? Perhaps telepathy?

What about sodomizing hardware?

It's funny. I actually debated not clicking on the link. For about a full minute, which when you have add like me is saying something. I thought, maybe if I don't click it, that will tell the admins something and maybe this shit will stop making it to the main page so I don't have to see this shit when I'm not logged in (yes, I realize I can change my user preferences - the opposite could be said for everyone who likes these insipid stories... you can opt in).
Then the add kicked in and *wham* before I know it I'm posting in this thread.

Hmmm... I must confess I did laugh a lot with these "letters".
Maybe, it might be a fun idea to open an anonymous slashsex.org section with an anonymous Users Secrets section?
That way we can all wonder how bizarre and freaky/strange/weird/pathetic/wonderful/sad./kinky/distasteful/unusual/funny/exotic(remove adjectives to your own liking) or the sex life of geeks is? We can truly be amazed by the variety, and maybe Kinsey can write a new report?
Maybe, just maybe...
