Which memes were actually posted here? Personally, I never went to the trouble of visiting the Juliann memes until the outcry. (I still haven't seen the ones directed at calmoriah.) I never would have looked at them, because that isn't the kind of thing I participate in or get my kicks from. So, if I didn't know anything about them, why would I have voiced outrage about them? It was when someone complained of how outrageous they were that I registered my disapproval. Before that, I just had no knowledge of it. Punkt.
I get the feeling that a lot of us were in a similar position. Because we don't do that crap, or get into it, we didn't know about it, and therefore said nothing about it. Big surprise.
My guess is that a much more tempered protest would have resulted in the same expressions of outrage. It is not as though I disapproved all of the sudden because they threatened us into it. I disapproved because I became aware of it. Nemesis could have easily registered here and started a thread drawing our attention to the problem without all of the hysterical rhetoric of legal action and board wars. That was irresponsible BS.
Nemesis is simply trying to defend himself for flying off the handle and behaving stupidly. If I were in charge of MDD, I would retire him from moderating.
