Your entire group gives him bad feedback. He gives the entire group bad feedback.
...and then the twit whom you kicked from the group not only gives you bad feedback, he logs on with his brother's account to give you bad feedback, then runs off to his favourite forum to explain in detail how you kicked him from your group because you wanted to get all the loot for yourself and he had rolled higher than you, and begs everyone he knows to slap you with bad feedback too...
And it just goes on from there.
There are two things that are infinite. The Universe and the stupidity of online gamers. And I'm not sure about the Universe.
I see that this is your first time on Slashdot. Don't worry, it takes some time to get used to how we do things here but eventually it will all make sense.
And just like Anarchy there are legions of people who loudly proclaim that it is just what the world needs, but really have no clue what it is and wouldn't recognize it if they saw it.
A recent survey showed that over 50% of all female World of Warcraft characters were played by male players. Who exactly is supposed to be fearing whom?
It's worse than that. GRC has recently discovered that OS X uses something called "Sockets" which, if used incorrectly, could not only completely destroy the entire Internet but also reach out from inside your computer to turn down the dial in the freezer and make all of your ice cream go melty. It's that bad.
Your only protection against this is Steve Gibson's patented new "Snake Oil!" technology which uses a combination of Stealth PicoWankoProbulators and Network Monkeyspanks to defeat all known "Socket" based attacks. Why Apple chose to include such dangerous technology in every release of OS X is a mystery, but only by paying Steve Gibson a large amount of money can you ever hope to protect yourself against it.
"The problem these days is not the system, it's the voters who do not understand that what their government is doing exactly what they authorised them to do, and do not realise the amount of power they excercise on the system when they cast their vote."
Or, to put it a little differently, "The problem is not that you are drinking, the problem is that you are drinking battery acid."
That's not the way the system works. It is the "duty" of the elected representatives to either get re-elected or to line up a high paying job in the private sector when their term is up. Nothing more than that.
The voters in turn will support whoever buys them the most expensive toys. It's all about short term gain and screw whatever happens after the next term is up.
Knowing the origin of a word doesn't give you any power over what it is used for now. Languages have a way of changing over time.
Like... a giant magnifying glass parked next to our biggest cities? Geothermal missiles that will raise the temperature of our drinking water by two degrees? Biodiesel fuel-air explosives that detonate in mid-air and leave the entire battlefield smelling like popcorn?
Nothing quite inspires terror like the Green Weapons program.
"I've said for years that as the single best thing the US could do for the planet, tax the hell out of fuel oil to put it at over $10/gallon.
...and then get voted out of office less than four years later in the biggest landslide since Atlantis. That's assuming that the riots don't topple the administration first.
The biggest problem with the democratic system is that after a while the voters start to think that they should be running things.
Apparently, Microsoft's master business plan is to invent a time machine, send all of their products back to the year 1971 and sue the original inventors out of existence.
Unfortunately, every time they get close to making a breakthrough on time travel, something unexpected always happens and destroys all of their work. When you're dealing in time machines, that kind of thing just comes with the territory.

It's all in how you look at it.
I see that this is your first time on Slashdot. Don't worry, it takes some time to get used to how we do things here but eventually it will all make sense.
Absolutely. Until you can use Wine to run Cooperative Linux or boot Linux on vmware then the job is only half done.
And yet, for some reason, the brightly coloured letters "I", "B" and "M" still appear on the bottom right corner of each Thinkpad that Lenovo makes.
Haven't you seen the movie "Hackers"? When you're breaking into computers the _only_ thing that matters is how cool you look.
You do know that rectangles are a kind of polygon, right?
Or something like that. I'm having trouble following just who is allowed to do what now.
Am I allowed to say this?
And just like Anarchy there are legions of people who loudly proclaim that it is just what the world needs, but really have no clue what it is and wouldn't recognize it if they saw it.
Those have got to be the stupidest looking collections of polygons I have seen since E.T on the Atari 2600.
It's true. You can even read the whole sordid tale from the most trusted news source in the world.
Yes. The food.
A recent survey showed that over 50% of all female World of Warcraft characters were played by male players. Who exactly is supposed to be fearing whom?
He may want to be more careful in picking his business partners. This one has a habit of not paying up.
"Oh, him? That's just God. He only thinks he's Chuck Norris."
Or knew him. Whichever.

I think you'll find that he prefers to be called GNU/RMS.
The cost _per episode_ of the original series was $2,000,000.
Unless there are at least two hundred and twenty thousands of people just like you out there then you're still coming up a wee bit short.
Yup. Right beside Caligula, Claudius and Nero.
