Trying to make this place the center of internet whining

Post by _stemelbow »

Every so often we get these threads appearing in mass, it seems, complaining about some individual for doing something. The popular one right now is all the whimpering about Joseph. I suppose its silly to point out the they usually are complaints about LDS folks--like Schryver, pahoran, Midgely, Peterson.

Anyway, am I alone in thinking how stupid this all becomes? Seriously, Joseph? He's got nothing. Leave it alone. He's harmless as a puppy, much like the other fellas who were topics of great concern by people here in the past.

I suppose the hubbub about Joseph is because:

1) It's because of him we have no images
2) He's power tripping on this IP thing, but doesn't seem to know what he's talking about
3) Seems to want to take this place down

I've seen the explanation, Buffalo. I just think its all child's play. Everyone stop pouting about him. He's just dude. If he's want tot ake this place down, let him try or do it. We'll al be fine.

I respect your position, but I think he needs to be banninated and images restored.

Why not just restore the ability to post images, ignore his warnings, and let the chips fall where they may, if image posting is so important around these parts? You seriously think Joseph has Shades wrapped around his pinky like that? If that's true its a shame.

Nothing. I'm just whining about your whining about all the whining that's going on.

Don't you think others might feel the same way about their respective topics? What you call "whining," others may refer to as "discussion." Some of these discussions have resulted in changes.
