One of the most thoughtful and reasonable posts yet. I may steal this

the clued in regulars here would join in there.. Stuffie has more
common sense and intelligence than they collectively do.)

I keep my mouth shut most of the time there; it's far, far too easy to
get drowned in the noise when every single damn topic gets nigh on 250
posts in just a couple hours (the first fifteen or twenty all being
clueless "FP, loozer biatches!!!!!!")

The trick is to wait a bit for the mods to get in there with their
knives trim things down a bit, read at +2, and be sure the +'s and -'s
are set properly in your preferences. Slashcode is *not* User
Friendly and requires a bit of work.

Consequently, since I post infrequently and metamoderate very carefully,
I have excellent karma . . . :-)

My Karma is currently ****. I've been violating the hivemind, and got
nailed on some of my mods by the meta's, in retrospect the meta's are
right and I was wrong.
