telekon's Journal: My Life on /.

So... my last post was about the first time I got mod points. Since then, I got mod points on 3/1 and again on 3/4. I'm rather flattered, even if it is software granting me this privilege.

Today I metamoderated and thus found a thread on which I used up most of my mod points. I don't know if this is good or bad. I feel like I used my points responsibly, but I also modded down two posts by the same user who I then added as a 'foe' based on really asinine opinions about Free Software. So I feel like my moderation got personal, which I try to avoid. But I guess it's okay, since I did the 'relation' thing based on honest moderation, rather than moderating based on relation. That would be bad moderation.

Maybe I think too much about this... But I really care about Slashdot and I want it to be a good community, so I take my responsibilities seriously. Arggggh.

So anyhow... about this slashdot "Friends" nonsense... anybody on my /. friends who are near Baltimore should email me... we're starting this new linux group... and if you're reading this, and you're not my /. friend, still feel free to email me about the linux group... anyhow... too much journaling with nothin' to really say...
