Seriously, did I miss some kind of memo about a posting shut down or slow down or something?
This is an exciting time for us “Upsetters”…
It is unfortunate that BB has retired… but in the REAL world, a retirement like that would be cause for celebration congratulating the "old" on his retirement and welcoming the new, especially when we get at the very least for the short term, a high ranking well qualified replacement!! CC might be an “interim” replacement… or he may stay for the long haul… we can only hope for the latter… but sheese… he has quietly arrived, reminded us of a couple of rulez and been quite consistent in their enforcement…. and all of a sudden everyone goes silent.
I know that he has admonished ME… cool, calm and always mindful ME!!! about rules that I have had trouble with….
I’m especially bad about “hijacking” and it’s something that I will have to work on…. Especially since I got a warning for one, and a friendly note to watch myself in the future… and then almost immediately going on a drunck posting spree… where of course… I hijacked a hijack of a hijack of a hijack on a thread… and he dutifully issued me five delicious Admintard points. (In case you missed my description, those points tasted just like a high end Las Vegas type buffet – steak and lobster all the way). But I deserved them… he warned of thread hijacking in the review section to the Board as a whole. He warned me privately for violating that rule after the public proclamation, and then when I fucked up again… he gave me my five delicious points that I absolutely deserved….
I’ll be more mindful of hijacking in the future.
I have no problem with whatever guideline it is that refers to the guideline it is that has led to numerous red edits in the past. You guys are spending WAY too much time on that… That one is a simple one… just don’t do it. Or maybe I’m missing something there as well.
Since CC has been around, I have seen no change regarding what we can and cannot do.
I haven’t seen a recent guideline (though I must admit I’m not a guideline aficionado, nor even a guideline “buff”) that states that we can’t continue to be petulant, sniping, condescending, 19 year old kids in a lunchroom….
Yet… many of the members that (used to) like to engage in such behavior have seen to gone unexpectedly silent….
I just don’t get it…..
Maybe some of you are all butt hurt about getting warnings and points I suspect you received… and maybe you are afraid… fucking scaredy cats….
Whatever reason some of you guys (and girls as far as that goes) have for going silent…. I think you just don’t fucking get it.
But that isn’t much of a surprise either now that I thinck about it…..
Stoopid fuckin fuckers in these parts sometimes....
edit add:
There is also no rule against about drunck posting... Phew..........................
