Journal WidescreenFreak's Journal: What the hell is wrong with people?
What the hell is with this meta-moderation crap?
I read a message that I thought was interesting. The poster made some points regarding an issue that I have to say I didn't disagree with. His points were, as far as I'm concerned, valid. So, I have him an Interesting point.
Ah, but some self-righteous, f**kwad meta-moderator decided that I have no right to consider anything that goes against the Slashdot grain to be intersting, so I was meta-moderated down.
What the hell is this? If moderators aren't allowed to actually support a opinion on a subject that apparently does not fit in with the standard Slashdot zombie thinkers, then why not just give moderation only to those who are Slashdot bootlickers that dare not allow a dissenting opinion to be posted? Yes! Let us just push forth Slashdot censorship where anything that goes against the grain is immediately censored/deleted/whatever. This place is becoming more and more like the Home Theater Forum - and that's not a compliment.
Fortunately, my karma is still excellent, but it's the principle of the matter.
Well, unlike the people who continue to think that their only goal in life is to knock people down, I will still continue to give credit where I think credit needs to be given. I will not reduce myself to the scum who seem to enjoy giving out censorship -- er -- negative moderation points. Perish the thought that someone might actually be able to think for themself!
