The last comm I believe you're thinking of is uppityundergrad

fountaingirl September 26 2007, 20:39:36 UTC

Thank you. That is in fact the one that I was trying to remember.

margaret_yakoda September 27 2007, 05:53:56 UTC

Yes, please. All undergrads who hang out here at A_A are invited to come over to uppityundergrad

This is harsh, and will undoubtedly generate much complaining and whining about the unfairness of the world or whatever by the subjects, but I must say that I agree.

I was unsure whether merely pointing to the info page was sufficient. That, and I figured the flaming would be worth it.

galacticdust September 26 2007, 22:05:55 UTC

True. One needs to ignite a good flame war from time to time. It brings zest to life.

including dealing with you.

But surely... sensaes September 26 2007, 21:02:01 UTC

No, posts like this ask people to please observe the stated guidelines of the community. If it was a community for firefighters to discuss how to put out fires, how to stay safe during a fire, and how to deal with the victims of a fire, all from the perspective of firefighters and they were frequently pestered posts by arsonists and fire victims you can easily imagine a similar post in which they welcomed non-firefighters to read but similarly asked those people not to post because the community really isn't meant for them. The disrespect comes from those who choose to disregard the purpose of the community. We have moderators, yes, but they are not dictators. Other people can and should voice their opinions about how the community is run, particularly when they are merely pointing out what is already agreed upon in the profile.

The best you could hope for is hot_firemen.

Oh crap, that one exists.

Oh god, my eyes. That's SO not work safe! I'm incredibly amused. I don't know what I expected, and probably deserved what I got.

FWIW, I think this post is totally in line. *shrug*
