Keith Russell's Journal: Slashdot has nothing left but hate.

How else could you explain kdawson, in the span of two days, promoting two of Twitter's journal entries to the front page, then posting a dupe on the TestDriven.NET controversy, just two hours after Twitter added it to his journal?

Apparently, being the biggest asshole troll on Slashdot makes him front page material.

Goodbye.

Life sucks for troll, eh?

I was a little disappointed to be passed over for that story, but what matters is that the word gets out and everyone has a good time. I've noticed you haters [slashdot.org] mod bombing my posts days after I make them, when you think no one is watching. I've also noticed my submissions being slammed out of sight almost instantly and followed by swarms of article submissions. If I were paranoid, I'd take it personally, but it's not me it's what I notice and say that you hate. Suck it up and enjoy the story.

Because if someone was watching they wouldn't? I mean, seriously, even if you didn't absolutely deserve those troll mods (which you do, because, you know, you're a fucking troll), then what would someone watching do to stop them?

Bill Gates is going to have to hire more of you idiots if he really wants to control Slashdot. Ha ha.

You win the award for ironic statement of the day.

I'm torn. On one hand, he could definitely be a well thought out troll that tries to work the non-MS angle. But knowing the history of Slashdot, I think that he truly believes what he types. Therefore I do not think twitter is a troll... a whackjob like RMS? Absolutely, but not a troll...

Keith, I'll send you an invite where the rest of us are...

I already have a presence on Multiply, but it's blocked at work, so it's rather difficult to participate.

Hey, thanks for that last bit of shameless hypocrisy. I appreciate it, I truly do. I'd hate to see you get all sentimental over my departure.

Every time I see a bumper sticker that says "I don't suffer from mental illness. I enjoy every minute of it!", I'll think of you fondly.

Smell ya later!

Multiply

Most of the journal circle people evacuated for Multiply.

Come on over ... far less idiots and some cool new people are there.

Nah, Slashdot has a bunch of sensationalist arsehole editors who are keen to whip up a firestorm. Twitter does that well, so his "stories" get front paged. Simple.

The commenters, however, can be of many different persuasions (e.g. me, dedazo, you, The Bungi, ScentCone are posting alongside twitter, Anonymous Brave Guy, drinkypoo etc). Just because the editors (or rather, editor; kdawson is a fairly new editor) want to promote shit doesn't mean everyone does.

Don't let the door hit ya where the good... etc

Microsoft is the sworn enemy of Open Source and Free Software, they have said as much several times and repeatedly been caught talking about destroying it (as if they could - they don't own enough of the government) in their internal memos. If there is some reason one shouldn't hate them, I don't know what it is. Anyway, good riddance to bad rubbish.

What part of "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR CRUSADES!" doesn't anybody understand? This is a second sentence for the sole purpose of overcoming the fucking lameness filter.

Re:

Then why run one's mouth (or in this case hands) on the subject? If you don't care, then you exhibit signs of apathy, which is to say that you go another direction and stop complaining.
