Quote - It's always been that way in this community, since the very beginning.  PFO and all that.

Was kinda thinking the same thing... I mean, alt.flame in its heyday was a lot more entertaining, but otherwise it's not that much different.

Argh! That meme had been around almost as long as TCP/IP has...

Not gonna say it... not gonna say it...

Quote - I'm not sure what Wolf meant, but he hit it on the head, fear. This is obviously a moment when big changes are here for our little world and people are understandably anxious. Some probably had long standing grudges against certain products/companies, others have new ones. The aired them - fine, they made suggestions - fine. And a few kept on and on and on. Even worse were the conspiracy theories, not the ones many of us love to indulge in, but ones that were provably false, and statements that directly contradicted not only the only official information we had, but the plainly visible facts

...can somebody bronze this? Please?

Quote - Oh well...ponies and sunshine to you all.

Can't. Ponies (especially pink ones) were banned in early 2002. There's an outstanding rule to shoot them on sight around here.

Hey, Sam... got any of those suppositories in .45 ACP size?

Quote - bah, you think DAZ vs Poser is bad. The Vi vs Emacs jihad made this look like a polite discussion at the vicars tea party.

Or Windows vs. Mac, Java vs. .NET, Left vs. Right (politics), or...

Besides, everyone with a brain knows that emacs sucks the rancid boils from a dead leper's ass.

FWIW, I have no kick against either camp. I happily use both, and honestly don't care. I find it hilarious that some folks will go out of their way to show the world just how cramped their rectums have gotten over DAZ, or over certain figures, or over whatever this or that forum does. 

Me, I'm totally relaxed (hence the uncontrollable habit of inserting jokes into such threads.) I find the whole thing humorous, really. Gives me the giggles at times. 

I do agree with one thing, though - put that energy into building something better. If I weren't in the middle of writing a book (and making a living, and spending time with the missus), I would've done quite a few months ago. Just one bit of advice on that, though - do it out of love for the craft, not out of spite for the Other. If you don't, you end up with a failing product and end up BS'ing everyone about it to cover for the failure. Well, that is until you finally implode online, making a mess for everyone to see. It's ugly, and such incidents should be mourned, not enjoyed.
