Journal: Why Slashdot sucks.

Because at the core of it, no matter how wise people here pretend to be, this place is, at the core of it, a popularity contest, no better than a beauty contest or a high school vote for cheerleaders. I've grown tired of it; and unfortunately, this place doesn't allow people to opt out. They're so determined at /. to increase their numbers that you can't delete your own account.
