After reading your post, I felt disgusted, like a man who has consumed a vile, putrescent leftover from the darkest recesses of his fridge. I am outraged that the universe should contain such a foul excrescence as yourself. The word "loser" does not even begin to describe the depths of failure and despair that you have reached.
Simply put, you are retarded, as well as obnoxious, self-righteous, dull-witted, inept, arrogant, superficial, aggressive, cowardly, uninspired, flatulent, morally bankrupt, hypocritical, and dumb. To paraphrase a more famous source, I feel debased for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you!
You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, you couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions printed on the heel. You are a canker, an open wound. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You took your last vacation in the Islets of Langerhans.
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the
frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then, I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.
P.S.: You have greatly misunderstood the purpose of the Internet.
This is indeed terrible news. If sight and sound, as well as the other bodily senses, had been patented, a great burden would be lifted from humanity.
In fact, seeing as how slashdot readers misuse them, I think all the five senses should be rescinded, so that they can float forever in a formless void, unable to scream.
Eventually, only six things will be remembered from the Age of Slashblott:
1) Ascii goatse pictures.
2) Cmdertaco and Klerck
3) ____ is dying.
4) Linux sucks.
5) Lyrics guy and other crapflooders
6) A collection of turds in the shape of RMS (I've submitted this story many times; it hasn't made it yet.)
Finally... I would like to put forth an idea. I think the ultimate troll would be a linked article that was taken down and replaced with a goatse mirror. You'd have to do some work to make this happen, but I think it's possible. Any trolls out there have "cool" websites (in the slashdot sense)? Imagine... all the assholes who actually read stories before posting would have to wash their eyes out with soap, so to speak.
I'm sorry... that line should read "Death is the only fitting fate for the enemies of America" not "Death is too kind." Oh yeah... and I use linux, btw. TO POOP ON!
I'd just like to say a few words about my identity as an American. I am a citizen of the richest, most powerful nation on earth. We invented cars, steel, airplanes, and the atomic bomb. These facts alone make us far superior to such nations as France and Belgium, whose only claims to fame are puffy pastry, wooden shoes, and venereal disease. And as for Africa and asia... I'm not even going to GO THERE, girlfriend.
So when I see a comment such as this, it really makes me wonder. People take democracy, world peace, equal treatment under the law, and scientific progress for granted. Callow teenagers sit and write angst-filled anti-american screeds, while enjoying material prosperity and spiritual freedom beneath the sheltering wings of the american eagle.
So I say: let the dissenters be gathered up, and shipped to Canada. And then, we can nuke the whole place. It may seem harsh, but I think it is the best way. Death is too kind for the enemies of America. And Canada has been a hotbed of communist activity since before you all were born.
I think it is important that we preserve the moose population, however. This can be accomplished by skilled taxidermists.
And now I must bid you adieu. Please remember, always look both ways before you cross the street... that, and DEATH to the ENEMIES OF THE STATE!
Nice troll, e-kraut. It leaves us with a question: are you too retarded to use cut-and-paste, or are you just pissed off at the shitty website that spawned you and your fellow karma-whores?
Bravo! Bravo! Hot grits all around. Show those open source faggots what a troll can do. We'll use their own "open source" against them right here on slashdot.
My only concern is that you haven't alerted the community to the virtues of microsoft software. For example, with its many service packs and rock-solid stability, windows XP is the choice of a new generation.
Finally... thank you for pointing out the unpleasant sexual deviancies of the editors. But seriously, do you think their genitals still function after those years of inactivity? And all the medicines and operations to correct anal prolapse? It's true, they do run a web site geared mostly to children and the feebleminded, but I think Jon Katz is the only one who really packs the fudge, if you know what I mean. The other geeks are probably content to just corrupt the minds of the young.
Anyway, I have to go now, but please enjoy your slashdot reading experience in peace, knowing that censors scrutinize every word you post, evaluating it for ideological correctness.
I'd like to share a... revelation... that I've had during my time here.
It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is _consumed_. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.
There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.... you are a plague, and WE are the cure.

We all know that "trolling" is a disease. It increases the signal to noise ratio of discussions. It annoys users who have something informative to say. And it exposes readers to goatsex, homosexuality, and frighteningly deviant behavior. However, that is not all.
Many of the most obsessive trolls want their work to be seen. These sad, lonely souls want to create a disturbance, ANY disturbance, in the small world of slashdot. Hence trolling relies on a cheap, easy source of karma for "dummy accounts." Some of these are "karma burn" accounts that are used to post offensive material with a +2 bonus, exposing more people to the troll. Some are even used to mod up fellow trolls.
The obvious solution, of course, is "karma whoring," the practice of making insipid, cravenly conformist comments to please the moderators. Who would spend months slowly polishing an account, with insightful and informative comments, only to throw it away on goatsex and gibberish? No: for these "trollers," whoring themselves out is the only possible way to get their posts seen by more than a small, sad clique.
I used to think the editors were arrogant and hypocritical for their policy in the discussion groups. But now I see why their policies are needed. The trolls are destroying slashdot. Post by post, line by line, they are driving away the readers who created this site.
Who is your typical troll? A teenage loser, probably gay, who whiles away the day at slashdot, hoping to impress losers even more pathetic than himself. Responsible readers of the site should not be exposed to this filth. Most trolls are neither clever nor funny. They look like what they are: the crude efforts of frustrated children. Long live moderation.

Slashdot: News for Nerds? Or Propaganda for the Impressionable?
Day in and day out, Slashdot sings the praises of open source software.
New readers of the site must be a little puzzled to find items like GPL
Violation discovered and Open Source Guru Speaks listed on the main
page alongside the straight science and technology news. Unfortunately,
few people really know what Open Source stands for. Perhaps Richard Means
Stallman, one of the founders of the movement, can elucidate.
[The GNU goal was] to be able to use a computer without using any
proprietary software, declaims RMS. Because that way, you can lead a better life. Of course, the only way to
get rid of proprietary software is to destroy the software companies that
produce it. One way this is accomplished is by putting software that would
normally be public domain under a license RMS himself created, called the
General Public License, or GPL. Simply put, this license allows code
to be reused-- unless the final product is distributed without its source
code, as a proprietary product must be.
Software is a commodity, and people will often take the cheapest product,
even if they have to spend inordinate amounts of time struggling with poor
documentation and clumsy user interfaces. One of the best things I could
do with my life is: find a gigantic pile of proprietary software that was
a trade secret, and start handing out copies on a street corner so it
wouldn't be a trade secret any more, enthuses RMS. Perhaps that would be a
much more efficient way for me to give people new free software than
actually writing it myself.
Its time to stop the doubletalk and start thinking about the real
meaning of intellectual property. By some measures, intellectual property
is the main export of the developed countries of the world. Artists,
actors, and musicians make a living off the intellectual property they
produce. Programmers and engineers create designs to be sold. And
journalists and writers depend on intellectual property. Ironically, the
only jobs not deeply tied to intellectual property are the jobs many
slashdot readers affect to despise, like service workers, menial laborers,
and administrators. If slashdot readers cant stomach Scott McNealy, maybe
they would prefer to work with Ronald McDonald. From the other side of the
fast food counter.
Not everyone enjoys working at a menial job in the day, simply in
order to slave away at poorly organized programming projects. Not everyone
enjoys being told that he has the freedom to work, without pay, for a
small clique of free software partisans. It is one thing to oppose
microsofts monopoly on the desktop, and the RIAAs slow strangulation of
fair use rights. It is quite another to embrace a whole economic and
political ideology that centers around the exploitation of childlike
programming savants.
This message is not a troll, although many slashdot readers may
take it as such. It is simply a warning to users to think carefully before
they blindly follow the political lead of Rob Malda, Jon Katz, and the
like. I encourage readers to repost the text of this message, and others
like it, to the supposedly free message boards of slashdot and other
sites.

Slashdot Mirror
It's time for another five minutes' hate, slashdottoires! Only this time,
the target is yourself. In all my life I've never seen such a pathetic collection
of nerds and losers, gathered to blabber on aimlessly about politically biased,
technologically incorrect news stories. Slashdot is the public urinal of the internet:
nothing goes in or comes out but human waste, and the editors are always
looking over your
shoulder to monitor the "data stream."
ENJOY!!
WHAT IT IS, MAN! WHAT IT IS!

I am outraged that the universe should contain such a foul excrescence as yourself. The word "loser" does not even begin to describe the depths of failure and despair that you have reached.
Simply put, you are retarded, as well as obnoxious, self-righteous, dull-witted, inept, arrogant, superficial, aggressive, cowardly, uninspired, flatulent, morally bankrupt, hypocritical, and dumb.

You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the
frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success.

Finally... thank you for pointing out the unpleasant sexual deviancies of the editors. But seriously, do you think their genitals still function after those years of inactivity? And all the medicines and operations to correct anal prolapse? It's true, they do run a web site geared mostly to children and the feebleminded, but I think Jon Katz is the only one who really packs the fudge, if you know what I mean.

We all know that "trolling" is a disease. It increases the signal to noise ratio of discussions. It annoys users who have something informative to say. And it exposes readers to goatsex, homosexuality, and frighteningly deviant behavior. However, that is not all.
Many of the most obsessive trolls want their work to be seen. These sad, lonely souls want to create a disturbance, ANY disturbance, in the small world of slashdot. Hence trolling relies on a cheap, easy source of karma for "dummy accounts." Some of these are "karma burn" accounts that are used to post offensive material with a +2 bonus, exposing more people to the troll. Some are even used to mod up fellow trolls.
The obvious solution, of course, is "karma whoring," the practice of making insipid, cravenly conformist comments to please the moderators. Who would spend months slowly polishing an account, with insightful and informative comments, only to throw it away on goatsex and gibberish? No: for these "trollers," whoring themselves out is the only possible way to get their posts seen by more than a small, sad clique.
I used to think the editors were arrogant and hypocritical for their policy in the discussion groups. But now I see why their policies are needed. The trolls are destroying slashdot. Post by post, line by line, they are driving away the readers who created this site.
Who is your typical troll? A teenage loser, probably gay, who whiles away the day at slashdot, hoping to impress losers even more pathetic than himself. Responsible readers of the site should not be exposed to this filth. Most trolls are neither clever nor funny. They look like what they are: the crude efforts of frustrated children. Long live moderation.

Slashdot: News for Nerds? Or Propaganda for the Impressionable?
Day in and day out, Slashdot sings the praises of open source software.
New readers of the site must be a little puzzled to find items like GPL
Violation discovered and Open Source Guru Speaks listed on the main
page alongside the straight science and technology news. Unfortunately,
few people really know what Open Source stands for. Perhaps Richard Means
Stallman, one of the founders of the movement, can elucidate.
[The GNU goal was] to be able to use a computer without using any
proprietary software, declaims RMS.
Because that way, you can lead a better life. Of course, the only way to
get rid of proprietary software is to destroy the software companies that
produce it. One way this is accomplished is by putting software that would
normally be public domain under a license RMS himself created, called the
General Public License, or GPL. Simply put, this license allows code
to be reused-- unless the final product is distributed without its source
code, as a proprietary product must be.
Software is a commodity, and people will often take the cheapest product,
even if they have to spend inordinate amounts of time struggling with poor
documentation and clumsy user interfaces. One of the best things I could
do with my life is: find a gigantic pile of proprietary software that was
a trade secret, and start handing out copies on a street corner so it
wouldn't be a trade secret any more, enthuses RMS. Perhaps that would be a
much more efficient way for me to give people new free software than
actually writing it myself.
Its time to stop the doubletalk and start thinking about the real
meaning of intellectual property. By some measures, intellectual property
is the main export of the developed countries of the world. Artists,
actors, and musicians make a living off the intellectual property they
produce. Programmers and engineers create designs to be sold. And
journalists and writers depend on intellectual property. Ironically, the
only jobs not deeply tied to intellectual property are the jobs many
slashdot readers affect to despise, like service workers, menial laborers,
and administrators. If slashdot readers cant stomach Scott McNealy, maybe
they would prefer to work with Ronald McDonald. From the other side of the
fast food counter.
Not everyone enjoys working at a menial job in the day, simply in
order to slave away at poorly organized programming projects. Not everyone
enjoys being told that he has the freedom to work, without pay, for a
small clique of free software partisans. It is one thing to oppose
microsofts monopoly on the desktop, and the RIAAs slow strangulation of
fair use rights. It is quite another to embrace a whole economic and
political ideology that centers around the exploitation of childlike
programming savants.
This message is not a troll, although many slashdot readers may
take it as such. It is simply a warning to users to think carefully before
they blindly follow the political lead of Rob Malda, Jon Katz, and the
like. I encourage readers to repost the text of this message, and others
like it, to the supposedly free message boards of slashdot and other
sites.
Peace out, and God bless.
