Nick Berg's Head's Journal: In response to that coward who wrote in my journal...

Who gives a shit whether you buy it or not? Until recently, I didn't even visit the anti-slash site until someone pointed out they were discussing me there. I figured they were just a bunch of kooks.

However, because people consider my name offensive to their sensitivities, I get modded down troll for it. Then along comes someone like you who is too cowardly even to post under a nickname. And I should take you seriously?

Nick Berg was a good friend of mine. Please find another cause, sir, because painting a target on yourself and being surprised when people are offended is at best a poor cry for attention. I see no humor in your choice of nick names, and I see nothing respectable or noble in your actions. If you want to do something worthwhile, take a look outside of the world of slashdot. There is a scholarship fund set up in Nick's name-maybe you could give some money to that. It would at least be a start.
