Yeah, I gave up on Slashdot comments when the comments on the "Microsoft is joining the Eclipse Foundation" news item turned into a "Microsoft is killing Eclipse" conspiracy.
Completely different from HN, where every "Google is improving security/adding a new API/product" post turns into a "Google is an NSA front/will kill any product/API that you use" flamedown.
"Google is an NSA front" and "Google may kill any product/API that you use" are in completely different orbits in terms of rationality.
