Journal Joules Burn's Journal: Karma-ok/censorship sucks
Note to Slashduds(mini-goderators) The Karma/Censoring systems you so lovingly abuse is the equivelent of allowing spectators to silence individuals in a discussion by basically cupping their mouths during a conversation. If this ever happened in reality, someone would be injured, but apparently geeks think it's aok, to do so from the shadowy corners of the internet, cowards!.
I never realized this could be done. I always thought of the "Karma"? rating as just an amusement. But I guess you take your lessons in free speach from such enlightened visionaries as... the ayahtola, Saddam, China, etc. censorship rules.
I've been here for many years(other accts.), slashdot was the homepage on all my systems. No longer. This is my last post, so hollar yay, and get back to your crufty power mongering again, as it seems to be the focus for many. If I wanted to play a game I'd go to a game site. There's an idea, or a site that either offers a real 2 way discussion or none. Either is infinately better than this crap shoot.
I won't be back, so they'll be no need to enable comments. If I'm only allowed to say what YOU want to hear, there'd be no point in talking at all. You already know it all. I wrote this because I couldn't find a way to close the account. Another slashdot act of desparation IMO. Let's keep those numbers artificially high, where have I seen that one before? (**AA?, passport?).
