guacamolefoo's Journal: Submit to /.

The button used to send posts to /. is titled "Submit". I find this to be an uncomfortable assertion of dominance by this website.

Even if you are a Troll or if you are posting a witty, flame-filled rejoinder to an ignorant ass, you must still "Submit". This is clearly an attempt to impose a class-based hierarchy which places ordinary visitors at the bottom. The elite (the moderators and corporate owners of the site) thereby gain a subtle psychological advantage with every post that reinforces the notion that they, not the readers, are in charge of this site.

Ask yourself: Would I willingly "Submit" to /.? Would I kneel and lick the boot of the editors? No!

Please join my campaign to get /. to change "Submit" to "Post". Fight the establishment of a caste system on the internet!

Nice ASCII art in your sig, btw. I got a pretty good chuckle out of that today.
