While on some points I agree with The Impostor, my heart really lies with blessed Owl Cap.

A word to the wise, Ms. Hyphenise:
He'll only leave you souvenirs, It's only gonna end in tears. He is only the impostor. I, on the other hand... Mmm-ah! |

Just stop, period. As I already said, unless you have something new to say or constructive suggestions for going forward, then you're just wasting our energy and time. If this is your idea of productive, then your contribution to the issue is no longer welcome.

No, it has nothing to do with my idea of being productive. I merely wanted to lighten the tone with a jest or two after writing far too much on this topic. It lasted all of a few minutes (and it takes three seconds to read and one to skip) and promptly ended. Excluding the merits of the joke itself, I don't see the problem.

The problem for me, anyway, Imposter...
One, there's something ironic about posting nonsense in a thread complaining about too much nonsense. And not good irony, either. The fact that you'd do it tells me you've completely missed the point of this thread entirely, even more than some of your other posts. For two, to be blunt, your protests remind me of a high school student whining because the teacher yelled at him for talking in class and disrupting the other students, instead of waiting to talk to his friends outside of class.

I think Jeysie's point is simply that you're starting to annoy posters, not just mods, here. Which goes back to that whole consideration thing...
Not that we want you to leave or anything. Far from it. Just can we please get past this whole thing, already.

Impostor, I hope you realize that for every one Pinkgothic who enjoys your sense of humor and irreverence, there are more than a few members and mods who are annoyed by them. We are not asking you to stop being yourself. All we are asking is to think about others a bit more before you choose to make your posts. I don't think that's a unreasonable request.

And the analogy seems apt to me. If you think of a thread as a class with a given subject... then private conversations and flirtations that take a thread off-topic and exclude the people trying to pay attention or not in the "chat groups" is the equivalent of disrupting the class. So, the "teachers" have asked people to keep the chatter to a minimum in class and pay more attention to the subject... and that socializing is fine, just that "class" is not the place for it. So, to me, yes, the whining student is exactly what he sounds like. "But, teacher, I should be allowed to drag things off-topic and have private conversations in class and ignore everyone else!" I'd almost think he was being satirical if he wasn't being so insistent. And then he goes and drags this thread off-topic by doing the exact thing the thread was complaining about. That's not "being lighthearted" to me... that's the Internet equivalent of giving the original poster the middle finger. The lack of respect just underscores the whole thing.

This thread has brought out the best and worst in a lot of people (more so the latter, I hate to say). Although ultimately, looking at the other threads, it seems to have been quite effective. Maybe I'll start posting around here again, now that there are things to talk about.
