What is with all the trolls on slashdot? I allowed comments to my last journal entry and if you look at them, not a single one is of a constructive nature. I almost wonder if they have anything better to do with their lives than to make a nuisance of themselves.
This nature is by far not exclusive to /. I have seen in it numerous other places. I used to respect the online community, but access to it has become too easy. I remember four years ago when spam mail was unheard of, I didn't know what the moderation "troll" meant, and people were generally nicer. Now whenever I talk with someone online, I have to ignore the worthless ramblings, the clueless, and the incessant ads. I guess everything eventually falls prey to corruption of human nature.
