tch.
childish. occasionally
endearingly
childlike.
But really! bicker
bicker. Somebody lashes out,
icicle goes into a
violent
pout,
gods and men fight in the chatterbox,
EDB is called out.
There are constant
quibbles over
XP:
you took my XP! gimme more cools!
you gave him more XP than me! how come nobody ever cools me? i hate you! get
away from me! look at me! that's not fair! stop
touching me! hoopy_frood expires (again!) Is this the way to run a
database?
Sure, we have authorities. And they're cool authorities. (the ones that
are cool, that is!) But do we have authorities that can wield
that gentle, understanding authority that soothes the wild noder? I
think (excuse me, please) the unfettered sensibilities that make certain
of our noders-on-high so intriguing also take away the authority, like the
teacher that wears a backwards baseball cap.
So this i submit: we need someone with less sass - maybe less streetwise
and more evenkeeled; say, someone, possibly, who never nodes (thus, a mystery). Someone who
can hold the hand of the noder taking his first steps, and soothe &
advise the poor soul who just got stung with a downvote. Yet, someone
who knows when to unleash EDB, and has the infinite patience to keep
typing /msg username reasonable, understanding, studied message over and
over again in the face of unrelenting whys? and abuse. Also somebody who
can tell the Pinchemadres from the Dmen. And make good pies (or, of course, macaroons). Yeah.
thanks and smooches as always to yossarian for editorial assistance and encouragement.
so, any volunteers for this
thankless job?
