Metafilter is famous for its snark. I’ve poked fun at their hair-trigger crankiness several times. When you’re watching the bloodshed from a safe, unregistered distance, it’s actually quite amusing. What, then, inspired me to pay my $5 after two years of lurking and eventually make a front page post myself, putting myself up to the same butchery I once enjoyed as a spectator? Maybe because I thought people would be amused. At worst, I might get off with a stern look.
Yeah, right. As weak as the post was, I really got the poo flung at me: accusations of cronyism, being a clueless newbie, the works. The situation wasn’t improved by the easy riffs made by a post scatological in nature.
This FPP could use some quality control… or some poop.
Better luck next time.
Something doesn’t smell right with this FPP.
Regarding my choice of username:
Eponypropriate. ((MeFites love words based on the root eponymous.))
“Spamguy?["] Man, they’re not even trying anymore.
You should be banned for your username alone.
And the final comment, to signify the post’s deletion:
This post was deleted for the following reason: As the owner of buttslol.com, I feel I share your feelings regarding stop signs that say “POOP”, but there’s not much there and people seem to not like this very much. Better luck next time around.
