This behavior is why people remain anonymous. If all you can do is call someone out by name and creep their profile, you add nothing to the conversation or culture. Slashdot is an insular playground for old nerds.
You do realize that BitZtream's own anonymity is what allows him to be what I call a "serial abuser" on Slashdot, don't you?
Let's review how BitZtream typically operates, ultimately revealing his own hypocrisy, shall we?
- BitZtream reads a story or comment that somehow disagrees with his point of view or opinion.
- Rather than voice his arguments in a civilized manner, BitZtream lashes out from his first reply, typically with profanities and/or insults, rejecting others' arguments rather than entertain the possibility of said arguments being logical or valid; he usually does this by belittling others to give weight to his arguments.
- Someone calls him out on his abuse, and/or has the audacity to challenge his arguments, or provide alternative opinions of their own.
- Feeling butthurt, BitZtream either continues his abusive streak, or calls for these people to "man up" and reveal themselves by using their account, seemingly ignorant to the fact his own account doesn't reveal anything about himself either (no more than the majority of accounts on Slashdot). He continues this streak until he "gets the last word".
(And yes, I fully realize that my nick is just as "anonymous", and as you'll observe from its name, that's the whole point.)
Judging from other replies to his posts, it's clear I'm not the only one that noted his repetitive abuse.
You claim my posts "add nothing to the conversation" - you're certainly entitled to think so, however I believe that pointing out his repeated abuse towards others adds value by bringing awareness of it to others, so they know that his posts, especially how he posts them, also "add nothing to the conversation".
And, of course, you should feel free to "report" my posts if you wish; however I'd expect you to also report any similar posts by any other member you see being abusive - you shouldn't let your dislike of my posts blind you to the abuse that prompted them (that is to say: don't be a hypocrite yourself).
