Journal brandon.excell's Journal: Opinions on Slashdot 7
Despite having been on this site for years, and seeing plenty of flam wars and people being lambasted for an unpopular opinion, I guess I just didn't learn. I posted a comment today about telemarketing and people harassing telemarketers, and it was not well received to say the least. Now, I have ruined my karma, and probably am the reason for calls at 2:00 this morning just because I had the audacity to say that telemarketers are people and that some of them are even decent people. You would think I said Linus Torvalds was secretly running MS or something. I guess that just goes to show that with anonymity comes a loss of maturity.

I was thinking more along the lines of having so much personal info posted online.
Which is one of the main reasons why I am anal-retentive about privacy, and the fact that I often have contrarian view points.

I have the same sentiments as the GP here, and much earlier on was considering posting something similar in the FP discussion, but decided it would be futile and just end up in a Moderation war (sometimes I like telling asshat moderators to waste their moderations on me, and keep it up untill they loose all their mod points... but that's a strategy that should be used rarely. It certainly does get my point across however). I'm sure there are quite a lot of people who appreciate hearing different perspective
