BADGE OF HONOR

Anyway, you guys keep on building this mountain. I hear the moles underneath it all have some cold beer, so I'll catch y'all later.

Maybe if you quit being fucking vague these people wouldn't be squabbling over exactly what you mean?

I've been silent on the subject so far but that's because I don't have any problem with ignoring what's annoying, or leaving if it can't be ignored.  Beyond that, who gives a shit?
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

Quote from: Dirtytime on March 25, 2009, 09:05:31 PMIn fact, until very recently, Nigel was one of my favorite posters here. I certainly don't want her to leave, I just want her to pull her head out of her ass.

You mean, you want me to post the way you want me to post, instead of the way I want to post?

You want me to talk about the things you find interesting, instead of the things I find interesting?

Because obviously if I'm posting about something that's of no interest to you, my head MUST be up my ass, right?

Here, let me just change my entire MO to kowtow to your desires, Grand Master ECH. What would you like me to be posting?

Mostly because I used to be happy, and now I'm angry, confused, and depressed. It happens when people you love leave you or kick you aside in favor of some manipulative possessive cunt they're too weak to get out from under the heel of, and then your life falls apart.

Pretty sure he was talking about Kai there.

lemme give you a hypothetical and you tell me what you think...

you have been hitchhiking to work for a few years. The same person always picks you up. They seem nice enough and for the most part the conversation doesn't make you want to stab your own ears out, but there are several things about their car that REALLY annoy you. These things are easily fixable, but it's not your car and they don't have to keep giving you rides, so you never say anything.

Then one day, they try to kick you out of the car while the car is going down the freeway at 70mph. Their plan backfires, they abandon the car and run off and you are left in possession of the vehicle and the title, making the car legally yours.

Would you drive the car around for a few more years without fixing what annoyed you about it just because the hitchhikers that YOU picked up started bitching about the changes you wanted to make?

no, I was talking about Nigel. Kai is, in fact, the oldest internet-friend I have which is why I let my objectivity slip a little.

Nigel, however, seems to think that it's OK to take her personal problems out on posters at PD that she's never even met in real life.

Nigel, I don't give a ratfuck what you do or don't post or whether or not I agree with it. you seem to be under the impression that no one is allowed to criticize what you have to say here and that if they do they're trying to be some sort of "board nanny", but the truth is that's nothing more than a subtle form of censorship. If you want to continue to be a prick for no reason other than to make yourself feel better about the things in your life that you can't muster the emotional fortitude to deal with constructively, that's your business. All I ask is that you stop being so goddamn unfunny about it.

I'd also like to apologize to Rat, whose comments I definitely over-reacted to and whose occasional bouts of moral relativism are at least backed by logical arguments and not laden with appeals to emotion, which makes them easier to digest and/or ignore.

Okay, but why are you starting now rather than when you got put in charge?  And what exactly do you want to "fix"?

Guys. I think we all need to calm the fuck down and listen to what everyone else is trying to say. I mean, for fuck's sake. As much as I like this place, and the posters on it, I'm seriously considering leaving (yeah i know no great loss and all that)

While I can see ECH's point, this board does seem to have gone downhill recently (IMO), I think that we all need to stop being so goddamn aggressive. I mean, this isn't some shitty little site we're all trolling, is it? Is it? I just don't see why you'd particularly want to be screaming insults at people you were conversing perfectly naturally with last week. It's fucking ridiculous.

And before you all start screaming at me for butting in, I'd just like to say that I post this with the best possible intentions. I like this site, and don't want to see it destroyed by stupid little personal vendettas.

BADGE OF HONOR

I mean, is it really any worse than the old stab/pie/tequila routines that used to run all over everything?  There's a much much larger percentage of constructive threads where people actually do things besides internet-murder/internet-fuck each other.  Is Nigel really worse than EVT?  And how do you, ECH, plan to "fix" anything without abusing your powers as admin?  Yes, this place has changed (thankfuckinggod), but it's remained stable and self-administering for longer than most internet communities survive.  Communities change, people come and go, and I don't know of any way of steering it in any one direction without some fucking ham-fisted MW-style moderation.
