Re: Weakly flogging
Lorider is a troll because of one poorly presented semi-satirical post? One that Lorider has explained not once or twice but three times now? Gets called "Lolorider" and "fool" by the regulars for simply having a better-than-poor estimation of the Weekly? This train wreck disappoints me, but not for the reasons you might expect.
I suppose, and I know where you're coming from, having survived the flame wars of FIDOnet and USENET and more than a few web boards. A mature, diverse, well functioning community can certainly manage itself as a group better than one or two people. The question is whether HawaiiThreads (or this particular corner of it) has reached that point, and from the looks of things, I don't think we're there yet.
Here in "Hawaii Media" (the Hawaii Radio & TV Guide Forums), we're all guests in Mel's house. What he says goes. As has been mentioned before, nothing stops anyone from looking elsewhere. But the mix of folks here is entertaining, to say the least. Perhaps especially when things go off the rails? Who knows.
I'm glad you're here, Lorider.

Is it possible that community policing leads to a better neighborhood than a heavy blue presence?
