The truth of the matter is that most of the power is illusory, and your ultimate boss is absentee parent Lowtax who will occasionally come in promising that this time it will be different, only to disappear after he feels he's been slighted enough.

Wait, so you are saying she would be affiliated with a site plagued by absentee management and poor communication, largely left to fend for herself, while occasionally having her plans ruined by incomprehensible decisions from the higher ups who constantly promise change that is never delivered?

Edit: really though, the parallel I'm still waiting for is Larry showing up in this thread with, like, a 00 regdate pointing out he's been here the whole time too.

No need to worry about exposure or being able to put the time here on your resume, though! :v:

Honestly I don't post on RGD outside of this thread, but I though LK did a good job and, considering the content being discussed in the last week, the response to Mel's foray into the thread was handled alright. Things can absolutely get too tense in here, but from my experience lornekates has not been antagonistic and was trying to keep things civil.

:agreed:

Free lornekates, they did nothing wrong and it's lovely to look at a large post and go "wow this person is obviously insane" when they're just trying to be as accurate as possible to avoid causing new problems.

I don't see how explaining what happened is a meltdown? Maybe it was long winded but it does sound like LK was dealing with some babies and basically getting probed for doing their job.
Honestly they've made the thread a lot better. Now it's at least just very bad. This place is horrible to mod and finding anyone who could stand it is going to be hard.
And nice to see all of the new people coming in here to enjoy the drama who will surely enrich this thread when we don't have a mod.

I'd do it; even though I rarely post I read almost every post in these threads (though my eyes tend to glaze over when you guys start talking about Star Wars or posting about posting). However, I'm spiteful and would probably probate at the drop of a hat so maybe someone with less of a temper than me.

In non-Channel Awesome news, Movie Michael put up a video about sequels, and while I don't agree with his criteria for what a perfect sequel is, he presents a compelling case for his perfect sequel.

the fact that you think it was the length of the post and not the content that made lornekates look like they were unfit to hold any form of power over anyone makes it pretty clear you either didn't actually read it or you think that's an acceptable way to talk and behave, not after being punished, but just for being relieved of duty from something.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Yeah, clearly only the length was the problem here

Not stuff like the formatting, the content or the giant red flag that suddenly jumped out of the post and started rotating in front of my eyes, while blasting "This Is a Warning" at 9001 decibels

One of the comments on that video linked to a 2014 video by the Last Angry Geek which featured a series of gags about the future of Channel Awesome. One of them is strangely prophetic (and also kinda disturbing given the recent revelations):

This feels like one of those essayists whose not very funny gimmicks and attempts at comedy keep on getting in the way of the content.
