One thing I like about Slashdot is that the comments there often represent a much wider set of opinions and a greater diversity of thought than are found here or at reddit. That does often mean that more of the comments might be seen as negative, some might be offensive to some people, and some might contain misinformation. But it works the other way, too, where some of the best commentary I've seen anywhere has been there, often from people posting as Anonymous Coward.
