Slashdot Mirror
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.

I've always had a thing for the smart guys. Just thinking about what we could do is making my face flush and my nipples get hard. I'm going to need to change my panties I think. Maybe I'll let you change them for me. I live in Boston but travel a lot. All I need is a little slashdot love but I'm sure you can give me a lot. I'd like to straddle you and let my motuh wander over your ears, licking them while you tell me how I shouldn't have done what I did. You grab my hair and..."
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."
It's decided. We need more OMG PONIES.
I have some pictures on ******* my username is ****** If you like what you see let me know
No really, what was her user name... you know, just out of curiosity...
Well, back to rejecting software patent applications.
Make it stop.
Think of the children.
"I really want to read more and talk to her less."
In the words of Larry the cable guy. That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.
"People have the right to say what they want. If you are going to run a website thats free you have to let me talk about fucking animals if I want. I don't really fuck them but if I did it's none of your business if I want to talk about it. I know I will be marked as a troll I don't care about that. I care about not being able to post more.

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.

"Fifty bucks says this was written by a dude."
100 bucks says samzenpus found that out in person.
One guy wants to talk about screwing animals. Another guy wants more stories about horses. The third person is obsessed with sex...
The simple application of logic suggests that one story could make all three people happy. Is this going to be new slashdot section? Award goes to the slashdotter who comes up with the new section icon.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
My cat's name is Nostradamus, but he doesn't write shit, that lazy bastard.
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.
I think I can guess what came next:

No, the extra "ram" went to the animal fucker in the first email.
Julie Moult is an idiot.
