Not disgruntled just pondering

and done

1. Is it useful?
2. Is it clever?
3. Is it funny?
4. Am I hoping to get it green so other people can read it?

Those four standards don’t all have to be met, but they must all be accompanied by #5: Do I feel like it?

I understand mjthor was involved in a shit show a few days back and is now maybe something of a Debbie Downer (Thorny Thor? Mopey Mjthor? Eh-ish Edzo?) but he does have a point— there have been more shitty posts than not, and I did find the manner with which he expressed that opinion somewhat amusing.

I’ve found 90% of the rec’ed comments/posts funny/useful, and maybe I just haven’t noticed that a lot of them have been complain-y. No one’s ever going to rec a full-blown rant unless it’s warranted, I guess, or echoes the sentiment of everyone else…. but generally speaking people turn green what people want seen.

with the effort that went into your fanpost KofC. Shit, you could’ve just wrote “I went to a crapload of games in the past year and the Hawks won a lot.” But the fact that you had photos to prove it (and just the fact that you took photos of the scoreboard after every game) was very cool. I don’t normally notice the actual articles or fanposts being rec’d, just the comments in them, if that’s what you’re talking about. But yeah, I would rec it based on the effort that went into it and the rarity of the feat.

The funny/sad thing with Buttfudge’s (oh, what’s in a name) post is that he or she was certainly referring to the title of your fanpost and then obviously never fucking read it! Now that’s just bad journalism.

Hi

Oh my

You guys do a solid job keeping it real here… avoids the mass hysteria / boneheadedness that permeates the rest of the blog/“mainstream media” world.

went out the window long ago

I’m not trying to alienate anyone. Where does the crap beer and the bennigans comment come from though? That’s just fucking bizarre. We drink damn good beer and hand jobs are boring

but it should be a comment and not it’s own fanpost. There is a certain level of effort that should go into a fanpost, and for the record, this blog isn’t ‘generally’ funny, it’s just funny.

sure, you were reading write-ups, but you might have also noticed a spate of fanposts written by folks who just really wanted a place to rant. More often than not, these are topics that have already been beaten to death and nobody wants to hear them anymore, especially since the posts have just been disruptive.

Sucks that it had to be your post that triggered it, but that’s what happens. I’d say don’t take it personally, but it looks like you already did.

OK, maybe some of us, but not all of us.

But we don’t drink crap beer. OK, maybe some of us, but not all of us.
