As the only person really replying to anything, I was trying to let the thread just be a series of un-commented posts since there seemed to be nothing left to talk about, so I kind of blame you for all this. "Blame" in the same way that the one person who says "at least it can't get worse" is to blame for the sudden shit-storm that follows.
Well, at least this thread can't get any worse, right?
It really feels like someone decided that something needed done, without any consideration that things were done.
A common flaw even outside of the nerd core. "SOMETHING MUST BE DONE! THIS IS SOMETHING! ERGO IT MUST BE DONE! Q.E.D."
I'm probably wrong, but it's one of the few scenarios where I can understand what the hell just happened.
I think you're dead on. Personally, as discussed in private, I agree that @Jeshin is not a bad guy. I think he's involved in sales or advertising IRL and he has the blind spot that a lot of hard core sales/advertising types have about how grating and annoying their sales persona is. It's why I've tagged him with the (relatively) nice "Used Car Salesman-in-Chief" title. The other two are assholes.
@Jeshin: Just to make this perfectly clear, unlike @crayon and @Jaunt, I don't think you have bad intentions. I think you have a piss poor communication style that has backfired on you. Your intentions, however are good. In the sense, sadly, of The Good Intentions Paving Company.
You may want to try giving your lapdog (@crayon) a good sharp tug on the leash, but your pit bull you may want to just put down.
