Drat it. I’m getting confused hopping back and forth between FR on Facebook and here. I keep trying to “like” your posts.

Nothing new unfortunately. When I eas Senior Ed at Off-Road.com back in the late 90s, plenty of our forum members demanded a say in how we did things because they ‘felt’ it was they the readers who made it what it was.

Well, that’s true to an extent as without readership a site is nothing. But their lack of ability to ‘know their place’ in the big scheme of things says more about them than the the business they bitch about.

It’s the ‘everybody gets a trophy for participating’ mentality. And it has been pushed on society for a very specific reason. When you get a bunch of otherwise sane people taught/believing they have ‘ownership’ of something because of their presence, the path to socio-communism gets a whole lot wider. Because the fences aside it are torn completely down.

It happens to a lot of websites. Heck, I think it is inevitable. I was involved in several start-ups in the 90s and early 2Ks (foodie website, product review site, and a business trade association). The same kind of things plagued all of them. All of them are still successful but only after going through many of the same things you see here. Fractionating, people trying to claim ownership or steering the boat, spin-offs, etc. All of those things are just distractions from whatever the stated goal is of the site. It becomes all about personalities. I believe it is just an internet thing. It equals the playing field a lot and suddenly everyone thinks they can run whatever. Bloggers think they are journalists. A lady posting reviews on Amazon thinks she is a professional critic. And posters on a forum think they can run a website.

You’re right about those crevo threads. Someone mentioned Mineralman, earlier, wasn’t he a regular on those threads?

Yup. Too late. DC is rife with Unicorns, Rainbows and Fairies.

Reminds me of a line from the Don Henly song “Garden of Allah” ( Considering he’s a lib, that whole thing is lyrically a condemnation of liberal ideas)

“Today I made an appearance downtown. I am an expert witness...because I say I am”

Of course, since most ‘professionals’ do their profession so poorly, it’s not hard to see why anyone thinks they can do it better. But most of the time they just suck even worse.

Or they may have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I have a frequent fight here with people pushing Alex Jones crap. The line usually is ‘so you trust the MSM more’? My response is that I trust them 1% more than I do idiot conspiracy websites which is still only a fraction more than not at all.

Hit the Palin threads. You’ll see leftism fly from supposed conservatives, all the while claiming how conservative their leftist slams and MSM parroting is.

Pure entertainment...if it wasn’t so destructively pathetic.

His leftist tendencies were more fully revealed on another forum after he was pushed on it. He was a leftist scum bag claiming to be a conservative, while trying to shove his leftist claptrap down the throats of conservatives.
