  • You're right (Score:1, Troll)

    by OldMiner ( 589872 )

    You should have been modded flaimbait, not troll. Nothing you said was untrue. You simply went to the effort to point out the areas in which GNU has had limited success. Clearly, you wrote a one-sided piece that anyone familiar with the issues would realize was correct but also redundant. Anyone not familiar likely wouldn't be reading the article. Therefore, your comment was clearly a stab at those who champion GNU. This makes you a troll, but the comment flaimbait.

    What were you actually looking f

    • Hah, so truth is flamebait here?

      Perhaps that is why Pave Low has the anti-slash link in his sig. Slashdot seems to silence any dissenting opinions.

      While his comment may not have been there to promote friendly dialogue, it was factual and is a point that must be addressed, yet too many in the community would rather ignore the point he makes and simpley bow to the alter of "Free Software" per RMS.
  • Given the link in your sig, I can see folks who would mod troll. Anti-slash is a site more intent on lowering the signal to noise ratio on slashdot instead of raising it. Instead of providing an alternative to slashdot it provides a negative to it.

    Were I on the edge of thinking a comment is trolling and saw the sig, I would probably be pushed over the edge. Basically with that signature you are removing the "benefit of doubt" by using that sig.

    As far as username goes, I had not known the source of it.
    • I guess we should have a separate modding column for sigs. I think mine isn't nearly as offensive or disgusting as some others.
      • Oh, I'm not saying that modding on sigs is right, but, is I am on the edge of whether I think something is a troll or not, and I see a sig pointing to anti-slash, I will usually assume troll.

        As I said before, by using anti-slash, which is a slashdot trolling site, you remove the benefit of the doubt when moderators come along.
        • It wasn't a troll. Just an opinion. A troll is something very specific, that wasn't it.

          I chose the anti-slash sig just to piss off the moderators, I guess it did the job.
