If you try to go to the Slackcare site, you might see the following
message complaining about "Noobs" who aren't following the rules. Read
closely, and you will see that Slackcare has as much as called 90
percent of their users "shiny noob ASSES".

Seems people aren't signing up correctly. Why the software allows
someone to sgn up incorrectly is not explained. Of course, this
merits taking the site down indefinitely, right?

In other words, my users are doing what they want, not what I want
them to do. Imagine that.

Anyway, here's the pithy notice:


"Slackcare will be offline for a short while until we can figure out
how to change the signup process. 90% of all users signing up are
not following the signup process, and we need to fix this, so it will
have to be done correctly in order for any access given to the site.

"So if we're ofFar be it from me to tread fline for the next few days
trying to figure out how to do this you can thank the NoObs the next
time you see them, or with our blessings kick their shiny noob ASSES
for not following the rules.

"Hope to be back soon. C ya"

Well your point is well taken, but please tone it down: you're sounding like
a troll.

If they said that, however, yes, they deserve to be publicly chastised
and/or slashdotted....

They're forgetting of course that if it wasn't for us noobs with our 'shiny
noob asses', many computer 'experts' would have no one to dump their
frustrations on. Except maybe Crimo$oft.

Cordially,

Well your "creative spelling" is no better:

I was organizing my bookmarks yesterday and returned to this site to see
if it was worth keeping. Such an odd site. On the one hand, it looks
nicely done but there is some weirdness. There's a quick comment column
on the left hand side where some people - members I guess - are bitching
because nobody has donated money to the site. That was a little strange
to see. Then today I get an email from them thanking me for joining the
site - something I think I recall doing last winter when I first started
with slackware. Then I get another email appologizing for the bad
formatting of the first email - which wasn't badly formatted as far as I
can tell - just 8 months late.

Very strange.

My 'creative spelling' is no better than what ?

Hang on, you wouldn't be a ... 'computer expert' would you ?

I'll take humour over self-righteousness anyday.

No better than childish name calling.

Humor is ok. Something like Micro$oft usually isn't that bad. Better
yet is something actually funny like Micros~1. But writing it Crimo$oft
is not only silly, it's plain immature. You're calling a corporation
composed of hundred of employees, and thousands of share holders a
criminal organization. While I do not at all agree with many (most?) of
Microsoft's practices particularly related to anti-trust law violations
and the FUD machine, I'm not going to resort to childish name calling
to prove my viewpoint.

A Windows user making fun of Linux is pathetic.
A Linux user making fun of Windows is justified.
Simple as that.

No, it's not. People who make up disparaging names to feign superiority
are not cool. Linux is cool.

Be cool, and take the high ground. Be superior by example. Don't name-call.

Making fun of Windoze is cool, as long as it doesn't cross that imaginary
line into slander or libel. And remember, inside every Windows victim is
a budding Linux user crying for freedom, justice, and the Clueful Way. ;-)

Hope This Helps!
