Okay, finally home, and it's Friday thank God. LOL I got about 4 hours of sleep last night and barely any writing done because there would be new posts every time I refreshed that thread. Meanwhile my Steam library is collecting dust and my computer remains untested because who needs games when you have CYS.
That thread was moving so fast last night but now that it's had time to be reflected on a little more, my main takeaway was that it's still impressive it stayed so civil most of the day. I mean considering that Bucky can't even make a thread about writing on a writing site without people with no interest in participating randomly wandering in to destroy it. (Plus, lap squirming. Ew.)
tl:dr seems to be that absolutely no one understands what the 'P' in PM stands for, most are satisfied or at least accepting of 3J's decision once the facts came out, some aren't nearly paranoid enough to live in this century or understand why site security is so important (though we all use CYS, so lol), and the usual few decided to argue shrilly about how Steve and I or whoever are getting vague, unspecified special privileges because we're good writers (Uh. I've never even published a story?) and this is super unfair ...while also insisting Kiel shouldn't have had admin powers even temporarily removed in spite of his actions. Because he's a good writer. (Meanwhile, I'm still waiting on my special privileges to arrive in the mail. It's quite exciting and mysterious because absolutely everyone who's talked about them have refused to give details.)
Thara has trotted out the one single trolling trick in her arsenal in three threads in rapid succession now and it's getting dull and samey (briefly entertaining watching her attempt to apply it to 3J but, only a little) though her whole attitude even when someone is trying to have a normal or civil discussion with her is pretty toxic IMO. She was even a bitch to Axiom and ffs, Axiom is like Soothing Professionalism incarnate. Bucky has expressed great shame and regret for ever thinking she was cool and must flog himself with barbed wire twice a day for the rest of the month as atonement.
Taco and Slasher are unstable children.
Soundstorm continues her streak of 100% of her posts here and on CYS being complaints and nasty little jabs fueled by hate, while apparently, honestly still under the impression she has some kind of moral high ground and is a nice person.
Really, the whole trend of *parachutes into thread* 'You mother Farking asshole bitch shitting cunts should be more nicer and stop with the mean words!!!' *screams and fires into the crowd with assault rifle* is still funny on a few levels, but I'm starting to feel it'd be better to stop taking the bait altogether. It just becomes people who have no interest in participating in the site outside of their RPs or screwing around on the Lounge and bitching about whatever distracting the people who are on a writing site for the stories.
Anyway, I'm saddened that 3J doesn't want us all forming into 'crews' and having a gang war because that was the only good idea Soundstorm ever had. Bucky had an overlooked suggestion last night though and so based on that, can I at least request that, instead of '3J vs Kiel' which is boring, history frames this and all the other recent spats as 'Writing Workshop vs Forum Games'?
Also Axiom should totally be made a mod too, as long as we're having opinions on this kind of thing. Sorry but she is so much classier than all the current ones put together, and good at shutting people up. (I think it's the avatar, it's intimidating.)
