    Ummm, what now?

    I recall reading about this on Ryal's version of the E.D. article. To be honest, I didn't (and still don't) see much reason to want "better relations" with Busy Street--it struck me as a blog whose modus operandum is "go around randomly insulting things, and then later claim its intelligent criticism."

    Though I didn't read very much of it, take that as you will.

    Self important bullshit.

    Thread smelled like a fanbaiting effort on the part of Busy Street. Respond to the weak arguments, post counter-arguments plus trolling of users on their site, generate attention for their website in order to create a feedback loop.

  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    Damn, their article on Bobby G pisses me off, it's like "hey we trolled TV Tropes and exposed them as intolerant douchebags at the same time, everyone high five". I Hate Busy Street, they're trying to pick a fight with everyone they can think of. I seriously hope they never discover the existence of IJBM, it would just add fuel to their fire.

    I wonder what Bobby thinks of it.

    Does the entire site have dyslexia, or was this intentional?

    Because you never know what you might see.
    Moogi was being argumentative, but as far as I could see, was only expressing an opinion.  I thumped Djm Tp and Gerpy's posts because they contained personal attacks directed at Moogi.  Eddie banned the former for having come over from another site for the express purpose of mocking a troper, and the latter for being the same person as a previously banned user (so ban evasion).

    The thread was deleted because it had descended into personal attacks and due to the perception that Busy Street are another site, hostile to TV Tropes, who were coming over to start shit.  Is this not the case?
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon
    No. We were doing fine until Moogi blundered in and started making noises about how no compromise was possible, ever.

    That's the first time I ever saw that a mod, instead of Fast Eddie, becomes the evil mudslinging target of TV Tropes. And then Bobby, of all people. To be honest, I find it hilarious. Hilariously stupid.

    I can't imagine why anybody would want any relations with them.

    ^^ If  that was the case, then why was Djm Tp making personal attacks?  And I'll admit I didn't get to read the whole thread before it was deleted, but Gerpy's posts on the first and last page looked to have a confrontational tone.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon
    Yeah, he was kind of like that, but everyone was chilling out and discussing stuff like Nier, and Cracked articles, and then Moogi went and ruined it.

    Well, I'm sorry to hear that.  As far as I read, this looked like the definition of inter-site drama, so I wasn't surprised that the people responsible were banned.  If this was a misunderstanding I'd be more than happy to talk about it with the guys from BS, but I sincerely doubt I'll be able to persuade Eddie to unban them given that he's identified them as hostile to the site.

    (Although I don't have the power to ban people from the site, FYI)

    If their comments on their blog is any indication, I doubt that they would peacefully continue any discussions.
  • KhwarizmiKhwarizmi

    No, and given Eddie's comments on the mod board, I think he's already seen that blog, so it's probably too late.

    I don't like this kind of fighting.  I'd be happier if we could all get along.

    But some people don't want to get along with others and prefer to fight with anyone they come across. I may be biased against hatedom sites, but they really seem to one of those.

    Left them a comment.  Not sure that was wise, but I wanted to apologise and explain my actions.

    It's been nice knowing you, Bobby.

    Busy Street sucks and there is nothing to get ties with them that is worthy of scenester shit.

    Let me rephrase that, SCENESTER shit.

    They aren't Hipsters because they are mainstream internet paladins and don't host their own domain IRONICALLY.

    Oh, fuck, it looks like I brought them over here.

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to import drama.

    Um.  HI BUSY STREET ^__^;
