no, i'm still feeling the buzz too, especially since, like you, i found the marketplace action late in the game (this morning actually)... feed me more drama!!
 
Those two threads have pretty well tied up my whole day.

They were awesome entertainment and I was thinking of mass hysteria and whatnot. Totally drained.

I've just come back from some work to see what's new in Basic Help or MacOSX, slid in to Community Dicsussion and .... am wondering if there's another minor bit of drama working itself up.
 
There was a point yesterday where I truly feared the universe was going to collapse on itself.

Thanks for the link. Nice thread but i do think the kid is being ganged up on... It seems he has a reputation on this board I am unaware of..

Perhaps we can use this thread to post links to interesting, dramatic, scandalistic, fun threads going on in MR?;)

You are correct.

It's fine to do that, as long as no one is insulting/insulted. Remember that anyone, even those not logged in, can see these threads.

Didn't read either thread.

But for some reason I had this intense generalized hatred of people going on...
True.

Not that it wasnt misguided or anything...:rolleyes:

You should read them.

In a nutshell....

The first one is a story about a pastor who is trying to come across as a devout christian and is out to spread the word of Jesus only to be revealed with hard evidence as a liar who had broken a known rule on MR. Eventually he was banned.

The second is a story about that same guy claiming hed been ripped off by another member who was "Breaking a MR rule and using multiple names on the site". Ironically to be revealed as someone doing the very same thing in the first story.

The irony was ripe.
Very Juicy.

I think that only is possible if RoboMod deletes a smiley-only post.

I think if you purposly flamed it it would only cheapen and lessen the drama value.

Youll only get the rush if its in its pure form:)

where did i purposely flame? the lack of smilies can go a long way sometimes......
 
Yep...I just finished going through the whole thing. It almost makes me wish I'd skipped my vacation to be there live. Thrilling. A real page-turner.

Maybe you had to be there, but I read through the threads and I felt it was about as gripping as a 1950s B-Movie…
Perhaps.

YES!

It was like having a real life....only on the internet! :D
Yes, we were geeking very hard.

Funny thing was, I only knew of the first thread until later that night when I stumbled on to the second (second link now locked).
Are there any more threads I am not aware of?


I linked that 2nd thread in my original 'outing'.
