MetaFilter without the vendettas??

November 4, 2003 5:25 AM

No vendetta here, folks...just topically mentioned (one) prior link in "the blue" and fixed ridyfink's HTML tag.

Hopefully a good example can be made from this good deed.

You do realise that this is still going to cause trouble don't you? ;-)

Metafiltarians are going soft, you just missed the perfect oppurtunity to bitch ad nauseum over the FPP.

(only joking, well done)

MetaFilter without the vendettas?

Not even a little one?

Well, toot your own horn, eh?

Does this MeTalk post count as a self-link?

A vendettaette?

Heh. For all that, you didn't even fix the link right.

a good deed undone by the self-congratulations.

does this really merit another metatalk thread?

I resisted posting in the Doors East thread. Perhaps that warrants a MeTalk thread.

I didn't post a snide comment in this thread. Hopefully a good example... oh wait, I just ruined my record.

I'll get my towel.

I'm missing the good deed here. Pointing out that someone mentioned one of the post links in a comment nearly a year ago, without being rude about it? Is that it?

Fixing a link might be considered a good deed, but people do that all the time.

Vendetta? I'm all confused.

Scary thought of the day: doing a good deed (badly) is so rare on MeFi that it warrants a MeTa thread of its own?

No. But it got one anyway. Sometimes you just see a good deed and want to pat the person on the back. Especially if it's yourself.
