Yes, a dubious url indeed. But one that seems appropriate for the project at hand.

It seems we've degenerated further than even cubeduel, where there was some criterion for slandering someone. Here, it's just a general opportunity to rip into that guy you've always been after...

"i built chattel.me as a reaction to high school, consensus, the level of online activity as a measure of worth" Yeah, in high school, the folks whispering about you needed a perhaps minuscule amount of guts and connections to spread their rumors. Here, even that's gone... (you know that here, who votes you up or down is already anonymous ...)

true. yet, for all the concern re libel and slander, none has yet to appear on the site. in fact, people just write about how great the other person is. i guess what they say is true: you get more flies with anonymous honey than with anonymous vinegar.
