Decades of upgrades to the Internet have yet to fix one nagging problem: the people on it.

Darn those pesky human beings. The world would be a better place without them.

The author’s conclusion? “You need committed humans who feel ownership of the rules and who show up in the forums ...”

So, remember that the next time you get thumped by a fellow FReeper. ;)

Another know-nothing know-it-all tells us what’s wrong with us.

I am finally getting recognition for my work, even if it was ruining the Internet for everyone.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE HATEFUL SPEECH, DON'T READ IT. Banning mean speech is a slippery slope. As it is, most media websites DELETE COMMENTS THEY DON'T LIKE so that what we see is WHAT THEY WANT US TO SEE and not all that is actually said.

Intolerant much, ladies? GROW UP, BOYS. GET OVER IT, P*SSIES.

... Ellen Pao resigned under fire after removing a community leader and banning some hate-mongering “subreddits”

The juxtaposition makes it sound like the two were related. They weren't. We don't know for sure why Victoria Taylor was fired, and we'll probably never know. Did it have anything to do with the fact that Taylor failed to rescue Jesse Jackson from a disastrous AMA? Probably that was a factor. But whatever the cause, Taylor was not running a subreddit even remotely associated with "hate mongering."

Usenet didn’t need to be governable. People could just avoid the bad areas.

Usenet simply became a haven for child porn.

Still, alt.binaries.tasteless was the highlight of the internet

1st time I have ever agreed with a sentence in a Yahoo story.

I don’t see the problem. I do happen to like the way FR is structured: clear site principles. Cross the line, ride the lightning. Plus the abuse buttons really do work. The mods are fast. And the boss is fair.

Free speech is one of the reasons reddit is so popular, but I suppose you’ve got to draw the line somewhere. Problem is liberals want to draw the line against anything that disagrees with them.

” It’s a for-profit firm that racked up $50 million in financing last fall and sells ads to name-brand companies.”
The question is: Has it ever turned a profit, or is it just a leftist subsidized festering sore?

When Ted Kennedy died I remember the 900+ comments at the Mpls Star & Tribune website with most saying negative things about him. They were true statements but the next day they were all replaced by positive comments. The site changed their policy by having you subscribe to the paper and also deciding when not to allow any comments for stories they know will generate a lot of negative comments.

Dear Mr. Huffman: Sod off, Swampy.

Freedom of speech is a God-given right; and all the more precious when it sends little snowflakes like you into a full-fledged case of the vapours.
