Blogger Humiliates Town Councillors Into Resigning
Dr_Barnowl writes "In an occurrence first postulated in sci-fi and later lampooned by stick figures, it seems that a blogger has actually been responsible for the mass resignation of elected officials — a British town council — largely by calling them 'jack***es' and Nazis. What's next? The deposition of a president with 'your mom' smacktalk?"
If you want to get rid of a city council I suggest you look into the manipulation of email headers. I doubt that many of these people have spent much time around sci.space.policy or 4chan. They probably think that "the system" puts those Reply-To: and From: fields in.

Oh look, a post just for people who read the web comic xkcd! If you didnt read it, fuck off. This post isn't for you.
Not many Slashdotposts complain about xkcd I suppose (most of them are about mainstream stuff like old Korean petrified pants pouring hot grits down Natalie Portman in Soviet Russia), but it's a dangerous trap to fall into. It significantly cuts down your audience. And before you all go "Oh come ON everyone has read xkcd" let me assure you that is incompletely true. Plenty of total ners haven't read it, OK? Jon Katz hasn't read it for one. Well, he woudn't understand it anyway.
Anyway, I have read xkcd, so unfortunately I'm in a good position to reply to this post.
But I've got bored now so I won't.
