    Nice find. Archived links are nice but trust me, those comments aren't going anywhere.

    It used to be open source lot of years ago. At some point the old owners changed that. That's all I know but we are looking into it now.

    I am not lying. We are looking at open sourcing the code again, but in the meantime if you don't believe me I'm not losing any sleep

    Its not true. All you have to do is browse at -1 on almost any story and it's painfully clear its not true. Trolls will be trolls though.

    Read through the original question thread. We sent all the ones that weren't personally insulting him. I'm not here to spend my time proving to some irrationally angry (adult, I assume) person freaking out about an interview he or she is smashing his keyboard about. If you don't like it, scroll on. If you do, read it and/or comment. If you're too dense to see you're acting like a petulant child, then so be it. We're not banning you like Reddit or any other site you can still get your rocks off complaining if you'd like. Or maybe you're just good at trolling me.

    Not every interview is as great as the Larry Wall one, but that doesn't mean we're going to stop doing them.

    I can't force anyone to answer questions they don't want to. Also, we gave him every single question that were asked by users that were worded civilly. If the question was extremely toxic and rude we didn't give it to him. Why would someone who is taking out time to answer questions respond to people rudely insulting him? If you can get an inventor like DHH to answer some questions that are worded extremely toxically, let me know and I'll post it here.

    I'm gonna weigh in here. Normally I don't react to trolls in the comments because I'd rather the comments stay on topic about the story. I read every story and the vast majority of comments as my time allows. I rarely ever downmod, as other users usually do a good job. I think you're a bit confused if you think someone telling me to commit suicide is "constructive criticism". Judging by your past comments you're just a troll, and hey, that's fine. This isn't Reddit, we're not going to ban you. People can accuse of us "blatant slashvertisements" as the OP here does constantly, but the fact is we have never been paid for a story. There's no way to prove that, but its the truth so if you want to keep accusing us of that, you can, if it makes you feel good rather than just scrolling past the story and reading one that interests you. Again, we're not going to ban you. If you get downmodded for other users, perhaps its because you consistently post things people don't want to read instead of posting a thoughtful comment about the topic at hand.

    The fact is the world of technology is a lot larger and more broad than it was when Slashdot was started years ago, so we cover more topics. There are more nerdy topics now than ever. If you wanted to improve Slashdot you'd email your feedback to us rather than starting flame wars in the comments. I assure you I read and consider every email I get. This will probably fall on deaf ears to trolls, but I thought I'd weigh in in case any cooler heads are reading and interested in what I have to say.
