Yeah, but the opposite of "naive" is not "intelligent". Don't matter how intelligent you are, you still don't mean shit to CmdrHeLimJatz. By their actions shall ye know them.
Oh now give the guy a break. He doesn't know jack-shit about Linux or Unix or any of those things that made slashdot what it was. He's on the payroll, so they've got to let him write stuff. This is the kind of crap you get when hire a TV guy.
Hey, Linus! While you are here, maybe you could help out JK with installing Linux? I think he's having problems -- his dog ate it, or something like that.
You've got to move with the times. JonKatz is slashdot now. Besides, this article is an ad: if you can block it out, it isn't effective. You don't expect them to give you an option to block out the banner ads, do you? Same thing.
"Is there anything better?" Huh? Slashdot worked just fine before JonKatz arrived. Slashdot is supposed to be different: it's not supposed to be "old-media" types such as JK expounding the word from his pulpit; but rather the best of stories submitted by you and me, as selected by CmdrTaco and friends. Slashdot doesn't need "professional" writers, the more so when they suck as much as Katz.
A sound opinion. But you are talking about a slashdot that has ceased to be. Perhaps it isn't all Katz's fault: he may be just the most obvious symptom.
I complain about Slashdot for the same reason I submit patches to the Linux kernel.
But in the latter case, your patch stands a chance of making a difference. Sad, but true. Why can't you hire a PR agency like everyone one else, "JonKatz"?
Slashdot Mirror
It's a polite way of saying, "I AM /. now, I can post what I want, now shut the fuck up and click on the ads". Clear now?

Naive Person: "I vote to remove Katz as editor." CmdrHeLimJatz: "You aint got no vote here, city boy. Now git offa ma land."

Do you like licking male ass in general, or is it just a thing you have for Katz?
Huh? I find the article very clear. It says: go buy my book at fatbrain NOW, you geek bastards! Make me rich!!

To punish us.

Katz PR machine on overdrive: reality check essential.
