Personally, I was curious just to see if slashdot had news on Iraq. I was somewhat surprised that it did but more excited than surprised. I value opinions of slashdotters than I would from say... MTV.COM forums. The responses are, for the most part, educated and reasonable.
The flaming and sheer ignorance that are expressed on numerous other forums of the net makes me appreciate slashdot and welcome its discussion on the topics of the day regardless of whether they pertain to geekdome.
Slashdot allows its users to post and this is definitely a topic that its users/viewers/audience/whatever wants to discuss (1100+ posts at the time of THIS post).
I am, however, delighted to see that it doesn't take up 90% of the front page, that the geek news is still there.
The bottom line as I see it is that something this big is going to weasel it's way into every facet of living. I have the sudden urge to type "Microsoft"...
