[REBOL] Re: SLASHDOT DEBATE - ANONYMOUS COWARDS
From: robbo1mark:aol at: 23-May-2001 13:59
JEFF,
Iam not angry or upset in anyway about anything anybody said on slashdot about the merits
or otherwise of their opinions, the only thing that peturbed me a bit was that somebody,
I presume from our community, could be so deliberatley antagonistic & provocative yet
hide behind anonimity, they got trolled down to zero score anyway by the slashdot moderators.
Iam all for privacy & freedom on the net, you all should know that, however I'm all for
people who nail their colours to their particular mast, even if I disagree with them.
I'm not a slashdot flamer!
Discuss, disagree, debate, consensus yes!
Cheap shots & insults at other peoples values or opinions from behind a cloak anonimity
then No!
Of course they're free to do that, doesn't mean they deserve any respect for doing so.
We should be a grown up community & show that face to the outside world, not post cheap
diatribe on either side of the closed / open source software debate.
Thats all.

Hey man, lighten up! SHHHHEEEEESH!! You're gunna give
yourself a stroke!! :-)
Golly-- If whoever posted their opinions anonymously has
roused this much anger in you because of how they posted
them, then it's probably a good thing they posted
anonymously.
Long live privacy and freedom! (:
