While I certainly didn’t expect my comment to be some wonderful show-stopper, I also didn’t expect DP, one of the consistently more thoughtful commenters on here, to say that if you don’t post here often enough, you haven’t earned anything from – can I quote you here? – “us.” There is an “us,” which means there is a “them.” And joking things out of our systems is absolutely wonderful, if everyone is in on it. This is not enginerd’s joke, but you’ve chosen to make a joke out of him. But here I go threadjacking, right?
We all know this started over at the pitbull post, with a “Hey, heads up folks, there’s a potentially dangerous pitbull over there.” It ended (if it is over) with “you don’t know anything about dogs!” Someone getting beaten down with his own good intentions.
This is a real can-of-worms situation, and I know I’ll not be having the last word, nor do I feel I need it. But the fact is that this place is pretty well scripted, does indeed have its inner ring (which is only natural), and in spite of all that it can be a lot of fun. However, enginerd being criticized and then laughed at for two consecutive sincere posts is, in my opinion, something of a low moment.
