Community business

Hi all. I'm sorry that i'm going to diverge from the talking-politics(TM) and occupy you with this again, but i think its a matter that needs to be addressed, and this time properly. I'm afraid last time we didnt exhaust the issue as we should and problems remained between members; unfortunately, the two guys who should've been most inolved in the ( Read more... )

Eh, I hope he actually doesn't continue participating in the community anymore, but that just stands for me. I don't care two tosses for such members, and I don't care what people think of me for saying so.

I do stand by the mod group's decision, but right now I'm working my ass off looking through member's texts from back in time, so that our noble knight won't post people's names up with personal judgment in his journal.

People fuck up when they summarize news organs, they will continue to fuck up, I'm sure. When I find fuck ups, it will be handled quietly. You can all just hope I get to it first and not him, for the community's sake.

Sorry for not answering any possible comments to this, no time or energy.

Since we're all about confessions, I did fuck up on two occasions and on seeing myself being, how was it called, put on the wall for a shoot-down, I removed those posts. I don't need all that drama around me. Indeed, it was some blatant plagiarism on my part, for which I don't feel proud. But I won't bow down to anybody for doing that, just I apologize to those who commented on them and whose comments went down with my two posts. Too bad, it was a nice discussion. But let this be a lesson to me.

oh, you're far from the only one. It is my solid belief that in THIS particular community, these things happen because people want information to get out fast, in thorough form and get a discussion going. There is hardly any prestige at all in posting to an on-line community where posts are a commodity and replace each other swiftly.

The way they paraphrased, not just copypasta was what makes it go from a fuckup to something more intentional though.

Okay, here is part of an exchange with gunslnger that gives one aspect of why I think some haughty angles of accusation are exaggerated ( ... )
