Journal: Slashdot moderation irony

So I'm reading along on a thread, and I see someone post something which is valid, but the moderators mark it as flamebait, so I think to myself, how do I get around this?

I know - I'll mark that person as my friend, and that way I get to read what they have to say no matter what the slashdot moderators do.

So what's the net result of this? My friends tend to be those people whose posts look like flamebait on a regular basis.

Likewise, my foes, once I mark some, will tend to be those whose posts are quite polite, and sound good, but are completely uninformed.

Then again, if I do that, I won't have the enjoyment of ripping into them from time to time. Guess that's why I don't have foes yet.

ps "Comments cannot be disabled once enabled".... what's that all about?
