Journal cyberchondriac's Journal: A double standard at slashdot ? 2
Something just occurred to me. Many, many weeks ago, I'd posted something that I thought would found as humerous, albeit something that took a pot-shot at Microsoft, as many slashdotters do.
It even included the obligatory " :-) ", normally a sign to intelligent life that the post was to be taken lightly.
For whatever reason, a moderator knocked me down a point as flamebait, and went un-metamoderated. Okay, I can stand to lose a point, no big deal, even if tens or hundreds of other slashdotters often say worse and get modd'ed up as funny. I've decided I have too much of a life to live or die by what somebody forever unknown to me thinks of my point of view on a website.
But what I just realized, was the that the icon Slashdot.org uses for Microsoft stories is itself derisive and derogatory.
How then, can the slashdot editors allow someone to mod a fellow slashdot denizen down for the very thing slashdot itself does on a daily basis ?
Things that make you go , "hmmmnn.."

un-metamoderated? (Score:2)
Double standard @ /. ? (Score:1)
Hiya Turg, Hmm, that's true. It could've been metamoderated as fair, for that matter. I've seen points go up and back down over the course of a few days, or vice versa, isn't that the meta moderation in effect ?
I see your poin
