I just discovered that Slashdot tracks users by IP adress and generates detailed profiles on users. We also ban and censor those with unpopular political views. And all this time, I though I was against censorware. Well, I'm outraged at myself, too.
That's right, at the same time Slashdot is proclaiming the death of "Your Rights Online", Slashdot is contributing to that very death, by way of tracking and banning controversial users based on IP adresses. In fact, slash code is tracking all of you as we speak, and Rob can censor any of you at the drop of CowboyNeal's hat. Look forward to further explorations of this and other pressing issues this forthcoming Tuesday. Slashdot's dissidents ("Trolls") will be staging a "be-in" on an unprecendented scale. Regular business on Slashdot will come to a standstill as the dissidents educate Slashdot civilians on the evils of the Slashdot power structure.
This message goes out to all you slashbots who think that the editors of this site have any sort of principles. In fact, at the same time they print stories decrying the loss of 'your rights online', the slashdot editors routinely censor users, ban users, steal karma from users, and generally abuse their positions. A longer post will be forthcoming in the future. Look forward to seeing this article posted extensively in every article on Slashdot this coming Tuesday. Tuesday october 30, the Troll Tuesday of the Millenium.

Well said, my brother. The sand niggers have hell to pay for the attacks against the greatest nation ever.
