Quote (ERV @ May 24 2009,15:04)

We are contractually forbidden to talk about back forum stuff.

Its just the same internet drama that has been going on in every forum since the beginning of time: Attention whores, white knights, normal adult humans that put up with that shit because they dont understand the internet, and normal adult humans who dont tolerate bullshit in their internet homes. Its just internet drama, but unfortunately nice people are taking whore/knight behavior personally instead of mocking them, as internet laws dictate. Encyclopedia Dramatica should be required reading before anyone has access to the internets, I swear...

Anyway, the bloggers AtBCers know and love are in the latter two groups, and thats because AtBCers are excellent judges of character. But its just internet drama-- nothing more ominous.

:)

ERV, thanks for the resource.

There is a serious omission in the Encyclopedia Dramatica, however. Using the search function, I discovered that KF (aka Gordon Mullings) does not have his own entry, or even a mention! Surely he deserves to be included there; he is a unique internet phenomenon...

Wow, Louis has gained weight there.

Awright, buddy, it's off to the House of Pain for you! :angry:

If the "House of Pain" includes me, you, leather bustier, fishnets and stiletto heels...well, I'm game.

P.S. What will you be wearing?

I have spent well nigh 20 years in Corporate America ™, risen to the Olympian heights of Middle Management, and have to deal on a daily basis with all sorts of delicate egos. All I can say, after reading that comment thread, is that you science types are the biggest bunch of titty-babies I have ever seen*.

I had a boss that gave me the best piece of career advice I have ever heard. She told me that the best tips she ever found for dealing with executives came from parenting magazines. So, ERV, as you make your way through the scientific world, your best survival guide may be this magazine. HTH.

*Insert obligatory caveat about that not being a blanket statement. The scientists around here are generally very nice people. So, to Wes and Albie and all of you....*mwaahh*

Yes, you have been voted Miss Confidentiality! :)

Thanks for the link and the post - it's intersting. Seems to me to resembble the old large family gathering - liker Thanksgiving. It's good to have enough room so the ones that don't get along don't have to interact. You don't want cat people and dog people in the same room!

All that happened after I left so I don't really have a dog in that fight, but now that it is going public on the internet (Drugmonkey has a post at ScienceBlogs) I kind of wish I would have stayed long enough to see it. I consider myself a mild mannered guy, but I do love a good, old fashioned, barn burnin' dust up every now and then. *Sigh*, might have been fun. kind of like this.

Assuming you mean Drugmonkey's post. "Let's not jump to conclusions, blah, blah, blah, they were all just burned out, blah, blah, nothing to see here, move along. Blahbity, blahbity, rate of bloggers leaving is the same now as it has been since the beginning..."

Because blogger burn-out explains why the leaving bloggers are still blogging elsewhere.

Shorter DM: "I accidentally outed myself as a perp on Sandwalk, so now Im doing damage control and hope no one but Larrys crew notices so I dont have to tell everyone what we did."

I think in real life, DrugMonkeys name is 'Classy'. 'Classy von Asshole'.

I'm going to have to go back and reread the Sandwalk thread, I missed that...

Thank you. I was fishing for this on Sandwalk. Naturally, I had used my Bayesian version of the Explanatory Filter to make the inference.

The DrugMonkey post and comments are hilarious. My shorter version:

"No, no. Nothing to see. Move along here.

What blood stain? I can't see any blood stain."

Ah but I am not implying, or intending to imply, that Americans are intentionally stupid. Nor indeed could even so libel-friendly a judge as Justice Eady construe it as so.

You chaps aren't doing it on purpose, you just dumb.* It's not your fault, we exported the criminals to Australia (with its exciting wildlife and wonderful coastline), and we exported the stupid and overly evangelical to America (with its stunning and diverse geography and bountiful natural resources) whilst we stayed in the UK (with its rain and vulnerability to becoming an icicle if the conveyor shuts off)....erm wait a second, there's something wrong here....Nope, can't understand it, must be the fault of those stupid Yanks.

Louis

*I feel if we are going to piss about with national stereotypes then dodgy dentition is hardly awful compared to to a reputation as being the doziest bunch of dodos this side of the Pacific. We all know these stereotypes aren't true, and they really should only be used on special occasions (i.e. international sporting occasions), but hey if we're going to mix metaphors, be a grizzly! Or something like that.
