Journal I'm a racist.'s Journal: What qualifies as flamebait? 4
How is this flamebait?
Sure, it's not very well written (I didn't proofread it). But, it's more-or-less correct and informative/educational. Up until 14-16 hours after it was posted, it only got moderated as "Informative" and "Underrated". Then, all of a sudden, it got modded as "Flamebait". What the fuck caused that?
Sure, all the "equality-whoring" dumbasses seem to gravitate towards it, but how's that my fault? I've had lots of other posts that didn't get any dickheaded replies.
I notice posts expressing just about any personal opinion modded as flamebait (even if they aren't intended to be inflammatory). That's retarded, but I'm not totally surprised. Now, with this post, I wasn't expressing an opinion, just explaining a bit of science.
The perfect example of idiotic moderation is where one post gets modded as flamebait. Four minutes later, the same exact post (cut & paste) is modded as funny.
That being said, I read at +4, with a +6 bonus for flamebait and troll (since there actually is good stuff that gets stupidly modded down). I also give a +3 to friends and a +2 to funny, just because I want to.
Now, one of my more recent posts, while not being intended as flamebait, is certainly much more inflammatory than my one on photon counts (How the fuck is counting photons inflammatory??). Incidentally, it's very poorly written and not well thoughtout. Oddly, this one didn't get modded as flamebait at all (it even had more replies than my other post).
Lastly, this one is kind of flamebait, I knew that when writing it. I figured by labelling part of it as a "rant", it would be taken a bit differently. Still, it wasn't really intended to incite people, just to state opinions/facts/thoughts/musings/ideas/whatever.
Now, if I posted something saying "All fucking niggers must fucking hang.", then I could see it getting modded as flamebait (even though it's true and not offensive).
The point is, moderators are knee-jerk reactionary assholes.
In a kind of unrelated topic, why are so many vocal /.ers against racism? Is the collective IQ around here really that low? Damned usless liberal spook-lovers.

It's important to get out among non-racists if you ever want to make changes in the world. Otherwise, the liberal asswipes in the media will continue to perpetuate the myth of racists as being poor, stupid, southerners. I am not poor, stupid, nor am I from the south.
As a side note, I have some good friends in the south. They are well educated and contribute to

I'd be interested in getting to know you better. If you're interested, e-mail me at mensch_maschine88@hotmail.com (just a useless spam account, but that way you don't have to give out sensitive information to the public).
