Kalak's Journal: Eating Crow.

I was about to hit "save" on the following entry, when I re-tried the link discussed, and it turns out the article is there. I still think there needs to be a -1 Wrong moderation, but I'll eat my crow, and please pass some salsa with that.

side note: I should start pondering the usefullness of having a pref in Slashcode to remove those annoying spaces in URLs that are displayed as straight text. I can read the URL, thanks, so I don't need to have /. fubar it up for me. I don't browse with IE and I have goatse pointed to localhost so I can't even accidentally see that lovely experience by accident. Read on to see why I'm eating this lovely meal:

Today I got meta-moderated "Unfair" for moderating a post "Offtopic" that contained basically a link to a 404 error. When I first modded this post, I was going to mod it up, since I was following the story and it seemed relevant. Turns out that the link didn't work when I went to copy and paste and remove the spaces from it. (When will /. just link the damn things? Annoying goatse trolls.) Since there is no -1 Wrong moderation that I wished for a while back, I knew when I decided to mod this one down (I hate modding down anyway), that I would eat it on Meta-mod by someone too lazy to check the link. *sigh*
