Forum Overview :: Rants :: Yes, but a site is what you make of it, right?

[quote name="I don't have a twit account"][quote name="CALTROPS Board Report, c.FY2015"]<i>We need to realign the CALTROPS brand to attract investment. Articles and Reviews may need to be excised for hip, new, content that matches the 18-34 demo in the form of Top 5 Lists easily seen on a phone without scrolling!</i> [/quote]<b>j/k</b> I really hope there isn't some talking point of "The Much Maligned CALTROPS!". I disagree against a viewpoint that free/anonymous posting is yucky or unfriendly. That usually comes from the same attitude of <i>"I can't ban them, or threaten them offsite!"</i>. The kind of folks that become, or support, tin pot moderators who micromanage and censor discourse (nearly every forum out there). As for the zseni meltdown... It reads like WITTGENSTEIN's addition totally flew over her head, because she was tripping over herself to chastise from the pulpit. As she "illustrates that she hates the site and its posters", well, she also paints being unable to see tone or context outside of herself for the chance to be incensed. It didn't matter that it was JERKCITY, but that makes it <i>even funnier</i>. I'll report to the Empathy Chamber for the usual corrective lashings. [/quote]
