I couldn't find a peep about the meeting in TSA's blog. I find it ludicrous that they can boot a top tier expert without enough time to replace him by anyone that could bring similar points to the discussion.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoI think you're confused. Their blog is not an information-dissemination service, it is a marketing instrument.
- dangrossman 15y agoYou would've gotten the same message across without also insulting vgnet by omitting that first sentence.
- mattdeboard 15y agoWhat? People get confused. I get confused. You get confused (as evidenced by this post). Everybody gets confused, just like everybody poops.
- dangrossman 15y agoNobody's actually confused. He did not literally mean to say anyone was confused. He's essentially saying "you were naive to think this blog was more than a marketing channel".
- pavel_lishin 15y agoKwanEsq explained exactly what I intended with my introduction.
- KwanEsq 15y agoHe's not actually insulting him. The first sentence is ironic, because vgnet isn't actually confused, he just has reasonable expectations. It actually serves to further insult the TSA, and is a fairly common phrasing in these sort of comments (at least in physical conversation, perhaps it's less advisable through the medium of the web).
- gojomo 15y agoWe need the ability to upvote and downvote specific sentences!
- pavel_lishin 15y agoEvery comment ought to be a file in a git repo, so that we can send pull requests.
- EvilTerran 15y agoI've previously considered some kind of social website built around the idea of annotating arbitrary sections of existing content instead of replying postwise. I can't help but suspect it'd deteriorate into a Derrida-esque anarchy of words, though.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoIsn't that basically Wikipedia?
- EvilTerran 15y agoWell, in WP you can edit what other people have put up, too. I think the closest existent website to what I had in mind is http://everything2.com http://everything2.com (WARNING: massive time sink).
- joshz 15y agoI guess if anybody is to confirm that it's in fact a circus, it'll be the TSA themselves. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
