If you are just having an unsubstatiated rant.. then that is just a waste of time.

Hostile?? what was hostile about it?

"little tirade" and "rant" equate to condescending and belittling, which in turn is a hostile "attack" type comment.

As a DMOZ editor, you have so far called me and the people I work with corrupt, hypocritical, and spammers, without supporting any of the statements you made.

According to you, "everyone" knows it is corrupt... but only you seem to be saying it.

If you cant support your statements, then they are just opinions, and everyone has one of those...

Your comments and attacks are exactly that of an ODP editor. Your bias is another reason I did not bother to reply to your comments. I am not calling any one meta editor or regular cat editor corrupt or hypocritical, as I dont know them all, but rather the entire DMOZ system as a whole is corrupt and hypocritical. I will not divulge my personal details and relationships with DMOZ, but how about you take a look at some of the DMOZ listings for "free sites" in different niches. Look at sites categorized under "A". Can you honestly say all those "Ababa Sex Girls" and "Aaba's Hardcore Sex" links belong at the very top of every "A" category? This is not an isolated incident regarding just one letter "A" listing in one niche. Look under every "A" for every free site in every niche. You will find "Aaaba/Abab/Abu" spam that just so happens to satisfy the rules and conditions for that category, according to the Meta editor that placed it there.

Move on to sites categorized under the letter "B". I see "Baab's Absolute Free Sex". Move on to "C". I see "Caan's Absolute Hardcore Porn" and "Caab's Sex Links". No matter what niche, or what letter you look under, there is spam placed by meta editors or other cat editors abusing their powers. So, are meta editors just not aware of this problem or perhaps there are just too many links to remove and re-edit? Of course not, there have been many threads in the ODP editor forums regarding this topic, but no change is made because it is in the best interest of the Meta editors to keep their listed sites exactly where they are.

And no, its not a few "bad apples" not doing what they are supposed to, it is vast majority of meta editors and regular cat editors abusing their powers turning DMOZ into shit.

So back to my original point and reason in making my first comment in this thread... Its fine if DMOZ wants to spam the hell out of their listings and abuse their powers all to hell, so long as other search engines like Google and AOL dont use their shit listings.
