Damn you, Myrmy. I can't even post on there, due to it glitching up my computer. Now all I can do is point and gape.

relinking for context

I am deeply, personally and morally offended by the implication that Dicken's Tale of Two Cities is seen as high culture.

Also, keep in mind that those books are just that — one book. One. These are hours, if not DAYS worth of compiled time. Of COURSE there will be more material and thus more tropes.

Question: Do they know how big this site is? I'm willing to bet that two thirds of the tropers here have no clue who any of the TGWTG people are.

Travis is a troper! Remember the thread where

Travis: I hate how every page has a TGWTG quote!

Anonymous poster: You could just delete them.

Travis: I can't, because I'm lazy.

Feotakahari: I agree with him. I am also lazy

Anonymous Poster:Makes thread.

So Myrmi, here's a great idea: Contribute to the Taxi Driver page.

That just makes me laugh. I'm a pretty obvious Critic fan *

, and yet I got his wicks down from over 1,000 to around 800. So hah. [lol]

He seems to be following Charlie Sheen's teachings. The troll is strong on this one.

But for real, when will they get that not all of TV Tropes is dedicated to TGWTG? And he as a former troper should now that. So it seems to me that he's just personally pissed with the site, and probably with some people, and used this particular subject to get some attention.

Busy Street hasn't posted about TV Tropes today, so you're pretty much beating a dead horse.

Well, it had to happen eventually, they need to focus their anger in so many other sites. But they will eventually come back, they always do.

Okay, I either cannot see a thing with this helmet, or we have biotic grizzlies attempting to take over.

Anyways, anyone check the site today? Might be amused, or a failed attempt at humor, depending on your view.

I'm curious. Did you guys actually get Spoony on board for that, or is it just someone pretending to be him?

It's pretty safe to say it's just a joke.

You can tell this guy has an agenda on TGWTG, since he deems LordKat non-sucky based on his opinions, rather than the quality of his work.

In other words: If there was a TGWTG-contributor who really loved Channel Awesome and made videos that TravisBickle found fantastic, TravisBickle would still call that person a talentless hack.

Wow. Just wow. That's kinda sad. Me thinks that this guy and Busy Street both take TGWTG too seriously. I only ever tune into their videos for a laugh.

Damn, the beginning was really promising but then the stupid punchline completely undermines it.

I think it was perhaps to mock his Wrestle Wrestle vlogs on the basis that their considered to be nothing more than mindless ramblings from a "wannabe" smark. That, or poking at the fact that the Bryan/Sheamus match from last night's WM got relegated to a dark match, hence the black out. I don't know, just a bunch of random guessing on my part.

This would probably be a more decisive parody

Edit: Just remembered, (or more Jordan reminding me), Havoc '98 was the same PPV were the match between Goldberg and DDP got blacked out due to the show running for too long. Explains the blackout gag.

This thread has become as aimless as TNA's booking. (And why am I dropping wrestling references all of a sudden?).

Latest article today pretty much deconstructs the argument of a random TGWTG fan who decided to rant about BS.

Of course, all he really did was just contribute more to BS rather unflattering portrayal of the fanbase. Reason why I bring this up? Well, for those who still feel they haven't answered your question about the donation drive, this is probably as close as you're going to hear from Jordan, or Mike, or whoever wrote this. As well as some other complaints.

Warning, Red Text is abundant.

By the way, this was something I've been meaning to bring up. Thoughts?

And if they're so "The trolls here are just a Vocal Minority, all we really want is freedom of speech", then why can't TGWTG fans be given the same courtesy?

KoB Since: Feb, 2011

Well, "Buddy" there wasn't exactly tactful himself, what with calling himself a "trollslayer" and saying they lose every argument. And as you know, going out and saying BS is just a bunch of trolls is not the best way to start a debate when they've gone on numerous times to explain that their not trolls.

As for free speech, you do notice though that no comments get deleted or censored, even from those who don't like the site. It's a way for BS to say "Yes, your opinion is flawed, but at least we won't delete it or throw down the banhammer. Would you expect the same from Spoony or Film Brain? I doubt it."

Course, free speech means this also gives them the privilege to pick apart the others argument, but since they don't delete the comment...

And hey, 1,000 posts. Didn't think it'd get this far.
