Digg Users' Apparent Bias |

It seems that the users on Digg are quite discriminatory
towards people who don’t share their ideas. No matter how “accepting” many of
them claim to be, they still are quite petty when you get down to it. Ever
since an argument over politics I had in the recent past, it seems that many
Digg users have “shunned” me. I submitted, for instance, a link detailing
satellite television on the pc, and how to do it. I had over 1000 hits, yet was
Dugg only 13 times. It seems that many users are holding a bias against me for
my political views. I just request that people on Digg view and Digg/don’t Digg
stories based on their story value, interest factor, and the story itself.
Please stop judging content by the author. That is really judging a book by its
cover. We all know how much good that does.
