*rolling eyes* See- this is where the competitive thing kicks in. You have to have pompoms first, snappy wants FABULOUS pompoms now and what do I get? A lesson on saltwater from Scott. 🙁
slopey-No- I’m not. I’m not saying anyone is making ad hominem attacks, but someone hardly comes across as sympathetic when they say things like “Those guys are really slacking off”, or implying that Jon doesn’t seem to care if he alienated PLUSAS. I have no argument that they should have waited, and I also believe they are far too well aware of what implications there are for someone like biff to not be able to read or post. Yet look at CGar’s reaction yesterday. Some people seem to think if a problem wasn’t fixed yesterday, they aren’t working on it- and that simply isn’t true. And how many times do we have to question his decision to proceed? Over and over again? He had his reasons, I’m sure so maybe it’s time to drop it and let them work out everything without revisiting the same arguments everyday..
I don’t underestimate PLUSAS at all- but I can also see things from Jon’s perspective and I sympathize with a lot of what he’s going through right now.
Exactly how much money do you thnk PLusas have spent on all these things in comparison to all the posters and people who read Brownstoner? You make it sound like if we left, Brownstoner will collapse. That ain’t happening- let’s be realistic. There are loads of people who read brownstoner and would rather scrape their eyes out with walnuts than read the OT because they think it’s a clique- and not a very nice one. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that, and so has MM.
As for alienating- like Jon is trying to do that? Like he hasn’t paid for many hours of programmer time to fix problems on the OT, let alone the rest of the site? The fact that he is trying to find a work around so people like Biff can see the posts and comment? Why don’t you try building a site like this and come back with a report?
And yes- the OT was a nice thing Jon did for us because we weren’t mature enough to keep our crap out of other threads.
The heck with that- he called us custerms!!!!
I’m figuring Jon and Kael must need skin grafts by now 🙂

Seems like more than that 🙂
even in salt water?
Agree 🙂 (Did you buy any pompoms for me?)
