Meinberg posted:Foo is at the top of my "look at this guy" list, but right now I feel like he's fading into the background despite making a lot of posts, which is probably a bad thing!! Which of Foo's posts are bad? I'm interested as I have the opposite reaction. Annoying yes, somewhat condescending yes, but reading townie to me.

My initial read was that "Foo's generating content in post, that's townie" and "Foo's giving me a hard time for being an idiot, that's townie." But when you actually reread Foo's posts, most of them are questions about how other people feel without adding anything of use. Then he votes Taste with not a whole lot of justification - with that build up, it would have made more sense if Foo voted me instead of Taste. I'm thinking there are better options than 100Yrs, eg still looking at Hal. ##unvote

conversely if you read my history making the assumption that i post short thoughts as they come to me as opposed to assuming my scumminess then you end up with me getting annoyed with taste and trying to pressure him to post more with my vote

And that vote's pretty scummy. Was it worth voting him just because he was bothering you? Or is this your way of walking back from that vote. Either way you don't make it seem like that vote is actually a statement on taste's scumminess.

The current deadline is October 15th, 2015 at 11 p.m. EDT -- that's in about 11 hours, 10 minutes.=========== ATLANTA, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Lynchings in which mobs raided jailhouses to hang, torture and burn alive black men, sometimes leading to public executions in courthouse squares, occurred more often in the U.S. South than was previously known, according to a report released on Tuesday. The slightest transgression could spur violence, the Equal Justice Initiative found, as it documented 3,959 victims of lynching in a dozen Southern states. The group said it found 700 more lynchings of black people in the region than had been previously reported.

ljtrigirl posted:My best guess at scum right now would probably be 100, just because that post naming everyone felt kind of like fishing to see if he could get buyin for a mislynch on me. If he is scum, I'd bet that at least one partner is in the "I don't know these people" list because that's a really easy way to avoid giving reads on a scumbuddy. Turns out the only people I really don't know are you and birdstrike. But what's with the insecurity? I wasn't necessarily gunning for you but only suggesting the 3 players I found most suspicious at that moment. Omg anon how the hell do you have the patience to only phonepost!

anon + hal: one post with content each; ultimately null but lurking is awful im having a hard time coming to grips with LJ's posting style, i think it's lowcontent (because it generally is) but it doesn't strike me as deliberately low-content, if that makes sense. I don't like her conclusions, though - being suspicious of meinberg engaging even though he himself hasn't posted much? She seems to feel really targeted by 100yoa's names post, but I don't follow that either. leaning scummy. taste i think i've explained birdstrike is on my scum radar too, what with the blatant contradiction and the weird declaration of omgus

Meinberg posted:And see how his post has indeed generated content! I'll agree that some basic polling and questioning of others isn't too out of line at this phase. Personally, I can see his thought process and it's a null for me, with the potential to swing either way based on future content.

I am not sure what point you are trying to make there, but I think Taste's point is valid. There are good ways to try and generate content, and there are ways of using that as an excuse to say little and let others generate content for you to work with when you are stuck trying to force reads. What 100years did felt like the second kind. It's wrapped up in a lot of fluff and buddying and feels fake. Meinberg's reaction to it and defense of it feels off to me as well, it takes no critical look at the situation and is just waves away any analysis of what happened and tries to brush the whole thing under the table. OMGUS or whatever, but I also don't like Vimes play too much this game, it's a good example of posting noise and saying little of substance, something I find to be scummier more often than just lurking (merk would say Vimes is content lurking). I'll vote with the thing that has pinged me the most though ##vote 100years

I was hoping in Foo's wall of posts there would be some acknowledgment that most of the "content" he generated was just asking someone a question without providing any reads on people. But whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
