Tbh, I didn't join in on the outrage (especially when petitions got broken out) because I've seen this stuff happen before elsewhere and despite all the sound and fury, nothing happened in anyone's favor. (See: Shuster) I didn't (and still don't) want to become one of THOSE fans who become so emotionally-invested in someone on the tee-vee, especially considering I have MUCH bigger problems that I should be dealing with
( ... )
Trust me, I had considered that possibility. In fact, Shuster's mistreatment MADE me consider that painful possibility. I included that depressing tidbit ALONG with "rage and injustice" this weekend. I think this was not an "internet tantrum" (I was well insulted when StopBeck told us not to use boycotts and petitions for "tantrums"--what are we, a pack of screaming children wanting a teddy bear? FUCK NO) and as someone who participated in it, who looked at this through a critical media lens (what might Comcast have to do with it? why were others able to do this? etc), I guess I'm a little insulted by that characterization of this. (ETA: Consider. Phil Griffin's office voicemail was FULL by Friday afternoon. He must've received loads of email. People all over the political spectrum voiced their disapproval. Over 250,000 fans--nearing 300,000 really--signed this supposedly useless petition. I think somewhere in there, he might've realized he done goofed

Plus his making Keith (and us!) wait one more day than necessary to drive the point home makes me want to drive a point... no wait, that's not where I was going with this. It makes him look and sound like a headmaster at Lowood Academy, that's what I wanted to say.
Ignorant, sadistic asshole. Capus & Zucker, too, and the id monster they rode in on, for giving Griffin the go-ahead to do this unjust thing. >:
Keith balked at having his hair drastically chopped off. Other disciplinary measures rejected: standing on a stool in the rain with a sign hung around his neck saying "I didn't know I was supposed to get approval before exercising my constitutional rights in an election." (And not just because it would have been a REALLY BIG sign.)
Seriously, what causes somebody to lose his sense of proportion like that? If you want to ruin them, just give them a little authority.

It wasn't a poopstorm. It actually got shit done.
You bet your ass it did. :D When something's wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.
