Cleanup needed

The God Complex — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 17:41:58 -0800

Could Matt or Jess please trim the fat from this thread? Probably a dozen or so comments about the formatting (and the subsequent comments about the comments about the formatting) could be removed.

Ooh, is this about a giant link dump that takes up the space of two posts ?

Trim the fat from the post itself.

Seriously, why do you care? I can see wishing the poster had used (more inside) but why does an untidy thread bother you?

It probably has too many mind-control germs that prevent me from peeing into milk-bottles in a hygenic manner.

Duh.

y2karl, it's hard to read with the sound of that axe grinding...

But how will they learn if we don't spank them?

Now, if he posts another one about a Buffycon, then it's hammer time.

I cut a few snarky comments, but I can't work the more inside magic. y2karl, give it a rest.

I appreciate the cleanup, but could "goddammit what is going on here nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrds" and "What a giant pack of fucking dorks." be removed to? Can't see how they could be considered anything but offensive ...

You know, I have to go with y2karl -- I haven't been hanging around MeTa enough lately to be worried about his axe, and this is a really goddamn huge post.

But I kind of dislike the entire front page lately so what do I know!

caddis, the front page looks better.

That is very true.

Actually, it was a good edit at the right point, all things considered.

caddis, maybe you want the animal neutering Metatalk thread one door down.

caddis — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 21:01:56 -0800

That is why you are an admin and I am not. You have patience. Mess doesn't even begin to describe that. Heaven help you. We appreciate the work you put in here, and that thread is nothing but pure work.

Some people seem to have misconstrued my intent. I was only concerned with the lame comments littering the thread (for the record). The "more inside" is also nice, though.

Matt, now could you do something about this seven-paragraph post? More inside or consolidate into a single paragraph, whatever works for you, but it's a blight on the front page as is.

can we just call a moratorium on paragraphs and while were at it punctuation and capitals although i think that banning spaces would just be silly and over the line

Matt, now could you do something about this seven-paragraph post?

I tightened it up into three.
