Is it me, or has it gotten even WORSE?

I've been away most of the weekend and have been catching up on what I can only describe as the antics on the new P&CE board... is it just me or is it even more vapid and ridiculous than before?  Is there still a takeover planned?

Re: Is it me, or has it gotten even WORSE?

  • I was going to post the very same thing!

    It seems horrible over there - can we postpone the takeover? Zip it!

  • Ahh, I think it's fun! ?And I think with the heavy voices of the informed, the uninformed and apathetic will surely lose interest and the takeover will become less and less hostile due to their own choice to defect.
  • Yeah, I've been getting back into it. ?It's been just dreadfully dead over here. ?I had to!

  • My thoughts exactly.  I believe we're stuck here for awhile.
  • Excuse me ladies (and Dylanite), but Eisenhower did not call off D-Day because the weather was bad. ?
  • That being said, if we postpone until Wednesday I will be able to help. ?I have class until 6pm today and wouldn't be able to do anything until the afternoon EST.
  • I noticed this as well and wondered what had gotten into people.  I can't tell if there are sore losers, sore winners, or both, but emotion definitely seems to be running high over there.
  • I noticed it too but figured we can ignore it.  I want to take back the board asap.  Can we please?  I bookmark too many boards as it is and I miss going to the main one.
  • ok fine i'll go over. can we make a pact to also ignore certain posters? I feel like that place needing a lot of "weeding"

     

  • Ok, so what's the exact plan?

    AWESOME!!! lol

  • That said, is anyone here really interested in 50,000,000 gay marriage threads?

    If we're down with changing the topic, count me in :)

  • I know Im an interloper here, but I think you need to take over sooner rather than later. The longer you are gone, the less likely it is that you will have any clout in taking the board back over. It will become the sess pool that is permanently, and I really don't want that.

    I believe that "silence assumes acceptance"  is the best phrase right now. If you want you board back, go fight for it. Just ignore the assholes and they will go away.

    So it goes.
  • Yeah, I'm not bothered by it.  And we are crazy slow here these days, and that's not okay!

    ?

    Go over there and start posting. ?You can either a) ignore the crazies or b) call them out for their insanity. ?There was some debate as to which would be the most effective method.?

  • I was worried that our plan was thwarted when we were "busted", but emmybean gives me hope. I'll go try.

    Go over there and start posting.  You can either a) ignore the crazies or b) call them out for their insanity.  There was some debate as to which would be the most effective method. 

    I've been on The Knot and then the Nest since 2002 and I have always found that ignoring the f*ckwits is the better option.  They rely upon people responding and invariably, a few people with good intentions will respond with something equally stupid or hypocritical that gives the OP an opening to keep on going.  Then the smart ones who stayed out of it feel compelled to jump in to defend the well-intentioned dimwit.  It just never ends pretty.

  • Ignoring is good.

    I was over there this weekend b/c I was really bored and procrastinating. ?I think that's about all I can take for the month.?
