I would like to thank those of you who took the time to read my posts and mod me up. Thanks to all of you, less than a week later, I now have 'bad' karma and can post 10 times daily.

With this, and the advice I have recieved from some users (special thanks goes out to Daniel_Staal (609844) for the exceptional advice he gave me), my karma is on the way up! I should have excelent karma within the next month or so at this rate (another joke, and ya can't mod me down for a journal entry)!!

At any rate, I would really just like to thank everybody for the second chance...

*** evil laugh ***
"SUCKERS!!!!!"

... (yes, another joke, but the thanks is more than sincere).



And now, for a brief piece on the world.

Off the wall theory here, but here on /. we have people from every part of the world getting along quite well; I think it is in part because /. is geverned completely by those people. People within a single country can't get along with each other, let alone the world as a whole, yet here, where people start in the middle and work thier way up or down, people get along just fine! This was the goal of democrocy, sort-of; the difference being that everyone started at the top and criminals were forced to the lower ranks of civilization.

You see, on /. you start with the right to post as many times as you want. You can lose that right (as I did) by abusing it, much like the rights we are granted here in America and many (or is it most?) other nations. However, here on /. you can also earn the right to moderate people. While we all remain peers, some of us have earned rights and some of us have forfiet (s?) our rights. Nowhere else in the world, AFIAK, does that happen.

People usually start with a full set of rights and lose them as they abuse them; the first right that is abused by most people is the right to take away the rights of others. That is, of course, unless you actually earned the right to take rights away from others. Then, and only then, is the vast majority more likely to use this right responsibly!

The world has a lot to learn from /.

My bad (terrible) karma, caused by a few misguided OT joke posts, coupled with my desire to post more than twice a day (yes, I can come up with more than two meaningful thoughts within a single 24-hour period) has forced me into the oldest internet-profession: Karma-Whoring.

I am asking that anyone with modpoints who likes something I post please mod me up . I do have alot of relevant things to say and would like to be able to speak my mind once again.

Of course, I'm not likely to stop with the lame jokes altogether; I'll definately do my best to at least include something meaningful with them in the future!

Okay, so you want me to beg now? Please? Pleeeeeeeeeease? Puh-leeeeeeeeeeassssse? If you like something I post, PLEASE mod me up.

If I let you down again, someone will just as likely mod me back down to where I am now and don't want to be; and why would I let it happen again? If I were the type to not learn from my mistakes, I would simply create another username and trash it just as well.

So, now, I have whored myself out, asked and even begged; and think I have done a fair job of pleading my case to the /. community. I have done this only in good faith and with trust that you will all treat me as fairly as you did in modding me down - by giving me a chance to start anew.

Thank you for your time,
