we have our second subscriber back.

Wasn't me this time - and I was right, there is a little box down at the bottom that you have to uncheck (at least I do) if you don't want to subscribe.

But this is way too much fun - so I'll leave it checked.         

Okay look, there are several of us as admins here. Damaris didn't censor the thread. We all decided to do that. The thread was locked but there was an issue that people could still post so it was censored to stop the relentless page after page of stuff. By now everyone gets it. Diz and Damaris have history. Move on, let it go. They don't have to like each other. They can have a he said she said rant but there is no need for everyone else to continue posting here just to be IBTD and stir the pot. You got your melt down. Now move on.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

 

Having several mods, good thing.  Having them be on the same page, good thing.  Having them sometimes do stuff you/me/we don't personally like, part of the struggle of an online society.

 

 Having mods who are also posters and who are biased and like some people and dislike others and have history with people and friends they defend and other people they don't defend (because they don't like them or whatever) is a bad thing though.

It has some bad aspects, but not ALL bad aspects.

And the alternatives?  A mod who never ever posts creates a different set of pluses and minuses.  A mod who has no bias is a wonderful person to seek out.  And also a challenge to find.  Not impossible, but a challenge. 

The RWOL thing of a singular 9-5 weekdays mod who basically didn't participate... and certainly didn't read things for true context... and who absolutely played favorites didn't seem to make people happy either.

Some people are always gonna be unhappy with "the man".  Sometimes deserved, sometimes less so.

But most of this stuff is a bunch of unimportant bullshit.

Whoa.  What the hell happened to BF?  Do we really need to keep doing this?  Because at the end of the day, does anyone really care who likes Damaris and who likes Dizzy?  And what each person said to/about the other?  If I was to explain this fight to anyone NOT on BF, they would think I've lost my mind.  Because it's just an internet forum!  Let it go!

 

 

Internet drama is a weird and wild beast.

Indeed.

He said, she said, and without the original messages no one knows whats true. This is something between D and D. Why on earth do we have to keep hashing and rehashing this? I'd say who the hell cares, but obviously that subscriber does.
