Slashdot has wasted innumerable hours of my life, and yet still somehow manages to deliver enough information back to be worthwhile.

As I grew older, the need for affirmation decreased, but Slashdot retained its value as an amusing diversion and news aggregator.

Sure looks like a straw man to me. Or can you refute the actual claims made by the submitter?
