What's the problem with liberal bias? According to one dictionary definition: "Open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values." That's what you want in a good journalist.
I first signed on to Twitter back in 2008 and kept in touch with a group of writers for five years or so. It fell off my radar since then because Real Life(tm) intruded and I stopped writing. This year I looked at Twitter and found a Facebook cesspool. I still post announcements on Twitter but there's no community.
How would you even know who to go after? It was an AC. For all you know, I could be that same AC.
Write a blog post, hope that the asshat AC writes a comment with identical language as the Slashdot posts, and report the username and/or IP address to the FBI.
Thank you for not assuming that I am that same AC btw, and for taking the time to reply to me.
Didn't APK get banned by pimping his website multiple times in every story like this guy is?
Maybe he is APK come back.
I gave APK grief for hounding me for a month. He backed off. Since he had a named account, I generally avoid commenting on his comments unless he comment on mine (which haven't happened).
I'm not saying you meant it as a threat, but I can at least understand why someone else would think it a threat.
Most people would say "Whatever?" and moved on. This asshat AC is still complaining that I threatened to shoot him even though he has enough information to file a police report, calling me liar and playing the victim game six weeks later. The best way to deal with bullies is to confront them at every opportunity because they're cowards at heart. Eventually they get the message to stop being an asshat and move on.
Thanks to your request, I may have found the URL pattern to pull that off.
I have ~12,000 comments that go back to 2009. Looks like the comment history from 1999 to 2009 is not available. All I need to do is write a Python script to scrape those comments, put them into a CSV file and then import into FileMaker. This would be easier if Slashdot had an export function.
Derp, go look at who voted on the bill. Tell me how many republicans voted for it.
Look at what went into the final ACA bill: 200+ amendments that were sponsored or cosponsored by Republicans. Since the Democrats had the votes to carry the bill, the Republicans sat on the sidelines while eating cake. The making of the final bill was a bipartisan affair.
Maybe it's because you don't actually know which comment, because this troll never bothered to link it to you.
I really need to write a Python script to scrape out my comments from Slashdot and dump them into a database. Thanks to your request, I may have found the URL pattern to pull that off.
I am still curious about exactly how the comment that started this was worded, but if you don't know which comment that was, I can believe it.
Here's the comment. I'll update my blog post with the link when I get home from work.
Don't forget, the "approval ratings" you're reading are being determined by a media that absolutely hate Trump. They're fake news. Trump is extremely popular, despite the continued attempts to smear him by the left.
This line of delusional thinking is why I left the Republican Party.
I never threatened to shoot someone. I asserted my First and Second Amendment rights in a statement and some asshat took it as a threat. That was a month ago. Still waiting for the FBI to show up but I doubt they will.
One of my local papers has been publishing articles based on interviews with Trump readers.
My favorite — if you want to call it that — is people believing that Trump will bring back the 1980's manufacturing jobs that require a high school diploma or minimal education. The reality on the ground is that newer factories are automated, requires fewer workers and a college diploma. When John Deere opened a new factory, they got 10,000+ applications for 800 jobs.
If the left would have known how to pass legislation they would have been able to get the original one through [...]
I wouldn't blame the left for that. It took Obama a long time to figure out that the Republicans were never serious about negotiating anything in good faith on anything.
Popularity ratings will be highly suspect/fake news etc. until he's out of office in which case they might be golden again (depending on who is in charge of course).
Trump's popularity rating is in the toilet. I don't think he can't stop himself from hitting the flush over and over again. Unlike George W., I don't think history will look too kindly on Trump and rate him at the bottom of unsuccessful presidents.
Do you libtards actually think about nothing but Trump 24/7, or do you just pretend to?
I'm a moderate conservative. Trump is neither a conservative nor a Republican, and, until a few short years ago, was a Clinton Democrat. The Republicans inability to govern in the White House and Congress is a grave concern for every American.
The internet was a LOT nicer before all the 'common' folks got on (started with AOL?).....
Internet, maybe. Slashdot was bad in the early days when ASCII goatse ruled. I used to get called "fat piece of shit," "fucktard" and many countless variations by ACs. These days I'm often accused of threatening to shoot someone in political discussions.
Slashdot Mirror
Reminds of a joke from a few years ago: "Arizona made their first anti-immigrant arrest: a Mormon from Utah."

Just when you thought it was safe to tweet.

You threatening to shoot me IS assault with a deadly weapon.

Inaction by the government when there is widespread disagreement is a feature not a bug.
That's a serious flaw that needs to be fix in the 2018 elections. If politicians don't want to work, they can find another job.

I think there was an attempt to create an open source version of the Cisco firmware but that never took off.
I took that AC post as pure irony, no need to comment.
I'm just trolling the trolls while waiting for a script to finish at work.

You're problem is you're so biased it has turned you into a bumbling moron.
This is Slashdot. You must be new around here.
So, fucktard, you want to shoot somebody?
I never threatened to shoot someone. I asserted my First and Second Amendment rights in a statement and some asshat took it as a threat. That was a month ago. Still waiting for the FBI to show up but I doubt they will.
See? Nothing's changed, you fat piece of shit.
I'm not fat. I'm buff. ;)
He will threaten to shoot me and then write a blog about how I am the one bullying him.

The left knows how to pass legislation (see ObamaCare). The right can't get past "no" (see their aborted healthcare bill).
Trump's trolling will get worse as his popularity ratings continues to slip.
