What can you expect? The slashdot community now has become a bunch of whiners and idiots who jump on every opportunity to attack/. - even if it involves issues they have defended so ardently in the past.

THANK YOU (finally) for pointing this out. What the hell is wrong with you people? Slashdot isn't a site to cater your stupid little whims and needs - it's about what Rob & Co. put into it - after all, it IS their site! Although the majority of this site deals with technical and industrial news about computers/science/geek stuff/etc., it just takes one little movie review or trivial news post about something as non-geekish as "The Beach" to create a conflagration of flammage.
Posting on how John Katz should be booted or about slashdot becoming decadent isn't going to help, either (the fact that Katz is part of/. and rallying everyone to "vote katz outta slashot!!" isn't going to magically boot him out has become somewhat oblivious...) - the more you gripe and whine, the more...well...the more nothing happens. If there is such a downfall of./, its cause clearly points toward./'s community. John Katz HAS poted some good stff, IMHO (the Columbine postings, for instance), and he isn't the black sheep of slashdot.
"The first step is education." - how ironic....
