So, I'm reading the ST/TT/DMac stuff and honestly, I have no desire to post on TT ever again.

Everyone I like is here...so why bother?

I see no reason whatsoever to go there and start static. I honestly see no reason to go there and even start a conversation.

Responses:

this is largely how I feel too. I especially see no reason to go there and hate on anyone. I love you guys. they gave me you guys. I have nothing but - school on monday loves mandy lane Jan 9, 20:30 24
- To add to the nod, I really thought that D.Mac would eventually become an occasional, but welcomed poster on ST. - Inigo Jan 9, 20:48 2
  - I thought this might happen as well. I get that we're sort of two warring factions now, but - school on monday loves mandy lane Jan 9, 20:51 1
    - I'm on Team Salt the Earth. - David Jan 9, 21:07
- The part that bugs me is that this entire brouhaha is predicated on a big old lie. - Trish Jan 9, 20:43 5
  - yes. - b! Jan 9, 20:48 3
    - I figured that you'd remember it too. :) - Trish Jan 9, 20:52
    - I can't remember what I had for lunch on Monday; women remember stuff forever. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:51 1
      - i'm dangerous. - b! Jan 9, 20:52
  - *dusts of the secret decoder* - nubby Jan 9, 20:47
- *nods* -- nm - Inigo Jan 9, 20:43
- Same here. - ReluctantCynic Jan 9, 20:34
- I'll admit that I was a little frustrated that they were prepared to discard us all for THAT. - Jim Jan 9, 20:33 12
  - I think I have a bigger problem with them not listening to the beta testers. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 9, 20:40 3
    - ken k would never do that to me (although I must admit that I still haven't bought a PS2, so...) -- nm - school on monday loves mandy lane Jan 9, 20:52
    - I say again: We were drafted into stability testing, not usability testing. - Mop Jan 9, 20:51
    - Hey, I was just a Senior Consultant. -- nm - Kenny K. Jan 9, 20:44
  - some people seem to blame d.mac for the site badness. - b! Jan 9, 20:40
  - I can't really fault them for that decision, at least on the assumptions I have about how they made it. - ReluctantCynic Jan 9, 20:39 6
    - The decision to change, no. The changes they made, that's another story. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 9, 20:48 1
      - Exactly. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 9, 20:49
    - agreed. i couldn't be completely critical because they were trying to address dwindling traffic and revenues. - b! Jan 9, 20:44 2
      - dwindling? how do we know that? -- nm - nubby Jan 9, 20:47 1
        
        ::brain squint:: - b! Jan 9, 20:50
    - FWIW, the orange never really bothered me. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 9, 20:40
I'm still lost on the whole "DMac's frustration" comments. He's posting stuff on Misc. So what? - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:28 13
- I'm fine with him posting on the Misc board. He's trying to drum up business. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 20:35 1
  - I think he's just bored. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:36
- None of it made any sense to me either. But considering I haven't looked at TT before today in weeks...so maybe I missed something. -- nm - Jim Jan 9, 20:30 1
  - me either -- nm - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:30
- I also think that people are assuming too much about his job re: TT. -- nm - nubby Jan 9, 20:30 8
  - pegleg seemed to speak with some knowledge re:d.mac's job. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 20:43 1
    - see below. - b! Jan 9, 20:59
  - Absolutely. I think this is very much the case. Also, assumptions are being made about his involvement and opinion of beta and what he wanted from it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 20:30 5
    - I think his trepidation about it was evident. none of this was his fault. his frustration is understandable. - school on monday loves mandy lane Jan 9, 20:32 4
      - Totally. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 9, 20:39
      - (what "frustration?") - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:34 2
        
        I mean his frustration with migrated people stopping in over there just to start trouble. -- nm - school on monday loves mandy lane Jan 9, 20:37 1
        
        ah, ok. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:40
