  • Ol' Slashdot sure archives threads quickly these days....

    Anyway, I'm curious as to what you mean by "military freaks" given that I've been a soldier (in one form or another) my entire adult life, and as you can see by my UID, I've been around here awhile.

    Go ahead, tell me - I'm not here to beat you up; I'm legitimately curious.

    • I was never afraid of generals armed with pushbuttons, so...

      My previous journal rant was about common trends on Slashdot, because of my often metamoderation I noticed a significant culture shift of modders in past two years. Comments with content critical to military (and several other specific topics) are much more often downmodded than real trolls or idiots. My experience with life under totalitarian regime is signaling me that there is high probability of an intentive agenda running on this, either by in

          • Well... the tone of that post is a hair over the top, and is a little inflammatory.

            It's not *outrageous*, and I agree with the sentiment, but it *is* walking the flamebait line pretty closely.
