FortKnox's Journal: Slashdot Mutiny?

Are we in the midst of a mutiny?
Second time an editor goes out of his way to act childish and insult Microsoft, and almost all the mod'ed up parent posts are people complaining about how childish michael was being (No one needs to tell me about michael's childish behavior).

Is slashdot maturing? Is a mutiny ahead?

it must be summer....

all the kiddies are getting out of school and spending more time at slashdot...... :-)

What do you expect from the slashdot janitors?

This Moz bug is a good 11 months old [slashdot.org].

You hit a good point in your comment. Why are editors allowed to append their own opinions to the stories. Isn't that what the comment section is for? Some of the editors append far less comments or may combine multiple submissions, but I've seen michael append his mindless dribble to every story. If he really wants to engage in the conversation and present his opinion, do it in the comments section. Then again, he would just mod himself up to +100 michael is a god.

more childness...

thankfully, some [slashdot.org] people [slashdot.org] know [slashdot.org] better [slashdot.org]

i'm sorry, i gotta

while i love a lot of what i hear from fortknox, i just gotta say dude:
while you meant slashdot mutiny? what you said was just as funny, and the double entendre was much funnier. are we growing to be MS clones instead of true freethinking /.'ers? only time will tell, i guess

something that comes to mind, is this an open source [okay, ascii at least?] pirate? (see the grafix below)

It's mutiny.

But it's not. The sad thing is, there's some interesting stories on yro.slashdot.com. Most posted by Michael. He (and the other editors) kill themselves with their editorial comments. Even the IIS/Mozilla/X story was a good one.

Who do you think started Samizdat ?

I'm so damn sick and tired of this socialist site where thousands of people come to bitch and moan and never actually get a life or a job.

To hell with that, all we're doing here is letting the companies that we hate just free-load our thoughts.
There is no point in this stupid and petty political discussion, I should know I actually happen to live in the capital of New Zealand [and for all the trolls, yes I'm also an Australian].

I'm going back to the real world, where people actually make real things that work, do useful things and even make my own money.

I've had enough of the really petty political issues here, why do I have to worry about the moderations of the "Slashdot party line."
I suppose I'm also severely annoyed by all the local geeks who tell me I look just like CmdrTaco.
If anything annoys me, it has to be the lack of individuality shown here, I'd say about 90% of the people here are monolingual americans.

Ladies, Gentlemen & computer freaks, I suggest you go for a run and do some honest work for a change with a bit of good work.
