CableModemSniper's Journal: Everything in Moderation?

Well I had an interesting experience just recently. After relentlessly hitting refresh I notice I have a message. I then notice that it is comment moderation. The comment can be seen here.

Now, after posting that comment the mods I would have expected would have been Flamebait, but as of right now it is sitting there at +5, Funny.

Obviously at least one mod thought it was funny, but does anyone else think it's funny? I mean I really don't think it's funny, since it single-handedly insults the entiriety of slashdot's readership. OTOH I was kind of trying to defend the shirts from this guy.

It just strikes me as Funny being a really odd mod for that particular post. It was quite a suprise to see. Of course I could be speaking too soon, in a couple minutes or days it might be down to -1, Funny. (God bless the underrated mod, *sigh*)

Hmm well more experienced /.ers than I have complained about the mod system before so I think I will just stop worrying about it for the moment.

That happened to me a while ago....

I rememeber once that someone was complaining about how people post without reading the article(s) and how this happened to be a dupe article...

Naturally, being my smartass self ( :P ), I said something to the effect of "You're new here, aren't you? ;)"

Of course, I expected to be modded down with offtopic, redundant, troll, or flamebait (which i've never acheieved by the way, damnit :( ), but I managed to get a +5 Funny.

I find that I can be good at getting modded Funny (or whatever) if i just come up wit
