I want to add that I really have found thousands of cool things and people through /., and they are still a 'goto' news resource for me. But I don't often have the patience to wade into their comments anymore. That being said, one can often find real gems there if you do.
Also, sometimes it's fun to bait the trolls...
As have I on both items.
When you have a bunch of Mod points then reading the trolls can be fun.
