    Quit being a whiny bitch and man up.
    No point in telling a guy he has a hole in his roof if he's content to stand there with a broken umbrella.

    I know that feeling, bro. Just step back for a bit. Make a post about PS3 backwards-compatibility flubs and take a take a break. When you come back, you'll probably still think 'fuck it' but it will at least be more serene.

    @Kino, yeah, but some of us actually wanted to live in that house.

    Oh well really /shrug

    At this point, I think Juan's got the right idea.

    Unfortunately for me, I don't have the self control to stop looking at the thread.

    I stopped looking after I voted. Nothing said will change my mind... and really I find it harder and harder to care. I only occasionally even visit the wiki and avoid Troper Tales like the drunk chick in the dorm. Like I do want the wiki to be better, but it's just a place on the internet and I can't fight the will of those who run it.

    Damn, where's Vorpy and one of her moments of clarity when you need it.

    ^this.

    Well, to be fair, some posts (and some posters) are better off unacknowledged, and this is one of those times. You don't have to take everything people say at face value.

    No, I don't. But this is not just about that. this is about how I'm creating a supposedly bad atmosphere over at TRS. I'm just tired of how what we're doing is dislike by many. Maybe if we stop, they'll reconsider. I know I will. I know my contributions to that thread have been nothing but repeating the same points ad nauseaum. It gets tiring and it's getting on my nerves as well. So fuck it. I'll just watch Kamina being cool and shit and that'll be it.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    @Juan: Smoke some pot, drink a bit, then come back in a week; if it sucks you should deuce out.

    But on a more serious note, I can see why you're distressed, but at the same time, there's not much you can do but say "Haters Gonna Hate" when someone is that wrong, in my opinion.

    This isn't necessarily the reason I quit the site, but it sure as Hell backs that decision up.

    I'm not really distressed, I'm just being reasonable here, really.

    the thread is stuck in a circle and I don't wish to participate. I could get angry at it, but by now, it's like getting angry at a cat for not being a dog, so...um...yeah.

    In all honesty, the thread itself is driving me away from the site just from the sheer... tiring-ness of it.

    Me too.

    Not that I usually go anywhere but Yack Fest, anyway, but for some reason I can't stop refreshing the TT thread.

    Gah, my dislike of TVT has gotten to the point where I can't even look at Giant in the Playground forumites the same anymore because I'm aware of the overlap between there and TVT.

    :/

    It's the root of a bigger problem with the wiki.

    Tvtropes Repair People are children who scream and whine and cry and hold onto the sides of the door to the dentist while it's a got a mouth full of cavities

    I'm not actually getting driven away, but it really isn't helping my opinion of the site.

    Hope you guys have $10 to spend.

    @Juan_Carlos: Well, I know he is. But I just can't help but snerk at others when they cite trope names in their posts.

    Haven does it.

    And Haven is the best thing to have ever happened to the internet.

    HAVEN DIED AND WAS PUNISHED FOR YOUR SINS! HE WAS ALSO SET ON FIRE VIA MAGIC, OK?

    The arguments are circular because we're not allowed to update posts or the crowner to reflect the arguments that have been brought up and he reasons to and against cutting it, because that's somehow unfair to people who have already voted.

    People are attacking us because the arguments are going circular because we're not allowed to update the crowner.

    People are voting without all the relevant information because of a moderator's decision overruling common sense.

    Hours of effort on mine and Nornagest's behalf and significant investments of time on Forzare's and ninjaclown's parts are being ignored because... it's easier for them to claim they're invalid without presenting a reason why than it is to go to the effort of rebuking the posts.

    The top tiers of moderators are against the decision.

    The mods who are supporting our side are bloody tools, outside of Bobby, and are being overly harsh to the point that if anybody else had done it they would have received a warning because ninjaclown was trying to help.

    People constantly offer up the same arguments again and again, and then snark at us when we rebut them because we're not offering up new information because nobody has rebuked the stuff we already have.

    And because of all this, the ratio is fucking dropping further.

    This is fucking stupid.

    I probably care more about this than what is probably healthy. But I'm not at the point where I want this to be over with.

    "Everyone in this thread probably cares more about this than what is probably healthy."

    Fixed that for ya.

    Seriously, I recommend Leechblocking TVTropes to the people who are legitimately getting worked up over this.
