I also think with Kilsally positing about Ween in every thread he shouldn't have much of a say in what is posted where.

Some people don't want to wade through all of that.
Some people do. What a crazy world it is where people on a discussion board might want to discuss things instead of just a dry recitation of facts.



Here's where it becomes a problem for me, and not so much a problem for the forum.  I have email notifications attached to this thread (and one or two others).  It sucks to have to wade through extraneous crap via email, when all I really want is a show announcement.  I don't care if you want to discuss the merits of the Pietasters vs We Were Promised Jetpacks anywhere else. 

I get that you don't care if I get emails filled with your inane banter.  You may actually enjoy it.  But it makes me annoyed with you, or at least as angry as I can be at a random anonymous internet person.  I could turn off notifications.  I could leave the board all together.  Or you could play by the rules.
Rule? Are you on crack? So Seth broke the rule yesterday? If I start a thread called "No Grateful Posts Allowed" and you post there should you be banned for breaking a "rule"?

"play by the rules" is a colloquialism.  Of course it's not a contractual clause, nor is it grounds for a banning.  Unless you piss off the mods.  Choose your battles, I guess.

Edit:  Also, Strawman.

Your post, Grateful, sort of encapsulates the entire pro JA-Commentary argument: you, multiple people, stop posting the way you want because it causes a small inconvenience for me that I could easily rectify in a few seconds (i.e. Don't read posts that are clearly commentary if I am only interested in announcements, turn off email notifications, etc.)

I'm not going to do something inefficient and stupid because someone else did something inefficient and stupid.

This should definitely have been on the Just Announced thread and please refrain from such posts in the Just Announced Commentary thread.

that stupid joke is still on your mind? I'm not even a fan of Ween. Well, I do love the Mollusk, and the 12 Golden Country Greats album but I usually only like half or less of any of their other albums. I quit the Ween talk when it Bored me, which didn't take long.

Has anybody else been following this? It's total inside baseball stuff but I'm sure a few around here would appreciate it. Tons of hilarity.

agreed!  it's the best thing on twitter this week :)
