@950 Inflammatory language is ment to inflame. If it upsets you then the author has done their job effectively.

I'm not thrilled that the level of shadiness by the BB staff has gone up in the last day since this was posted. I can only imagine that they can't wait for this to get off of the front page.

I have no idea what happened.

I think one of the things that drew me (and probably others) to your blog was that I felt like I was part of a club. A place where I could find "Wonderful things" and revel in them alongside you. You have always worked to NOT have this huge wall of Us (the writers) vs. Them (the readers). I felt like I had kindred spirits watching the internet for me while I was at work. Buddies by proxy.

I don't care that you chose as a group to make something not "wonderful" anymore. I just want to know why. The secrecy detracts from that closeness that I cherished.

I'm NOT claiming doom and gloom and I'll never surf here again. We both know better. For me this illustrates that you have grown and you are a business now. you need to pay attention to the eyes on the pages and how your image is maintained. As a grownup I can respect that. The teenage geek in me is not so easily soothed.

Why in the world would any right minded person want to visit ohio...

Though if you want to fly me out to meet the BB crew I certainly wouldn't argue.

Thank you for this. I hope that it gets either favorited or something. This long and thoughtout policy is the reason that I continue to enjoy boing boing content.

Keep it up.

I love you moderatrix.

I could almost imagine a LARP.

Live action pirates?

Live action cosplay?

Potentally cool, potentially icky.
