Not only that, I can't even post in his defence.

Several *weeks* ago, SlashDot bitch-slapped my account because I posted 
some (polite but) controversial answers to some asinine questions and 
got repeatedly modded into the floor by idiots who Really Don't Want To 
Know, In Fact, Don't Want Anyone Else To Know Either.

My karma, which had been redlined since three days after I started 
posting there, counted for nothing. The RDWTK crowd soaked up less than 
half of it, but the system forbids me from posting -- forbids anyone 
from posting from any ID (or as AC) at any of the three IP addresses I 
used in the weeks leading up to the bitchslapping -- and ahs done so 
continuously since then. The official moderators officially told me to 
sod off and stop whining.

SlashDot User #8043 is officially history. Too hard. Someone else will 
have to defend Jeremy "Spammer Slammer" Malcolm today.

Cheers; Leon
