(68,644 posts)There's the climate change fight, the ongoing wars between gender forums, prolly an I-P one or two, and the topic of bullying.
It's not of it new, it's largely what was always here only removed from view by moderators.
Which thread would you kill first?

(30,994 posts)That whole thing about "get a clue"
Getting kind of obsessive on all sides of the aisle....Nobody seems to be learning anything.
I didn't know you go to Meta to make enemies, but apparently that's the case........

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

Leave them alone -- they are saving the world from an evil-, evil-, evil-,

Did I mention "evil" as in "evil-doer"?

I didn't really mean to imply evil-doer.

I meant to say "dick".

(21,977 posts)Good. God. A-mighty.
What a cesspool. I was shocked at the OP calling out HH by name!! I thought that was against the rules ... but apparently not.
So, to that OP (and yes, we ALL know who you are), I hope you're damn proud of yourself. You got a good, longtime DUer and friend to many of us banned. I hope you choke on it.
Misogynist, my ass!
Bake
sharp_stick
(14,400 posts)and my DU experience has been much much better since then.
There are very few people that get under my skin as much as the denizens of Meta. It's just not worth my time to get into a fight with morons so I chose to let it go.
Blue_Tires
(55,445 posts)and HOLY DAMN that place is a mess...
At least I've finally discovered whatever happened with the "old" DU -- Dozens of regular longtime contributors to LBN, GD and the Lounge are all sniping with each other in meta, ENDLESSLY...The admins must work 24/7 just to keep that silliness from overflowing and drowning out the rest of the forums...
IMO, the admins should probably burn meta to the ground and bring back the proper ATA forum...
Bake
(21,977 posts)But who the heck actually thought about it and decided that a place like Meta was a GOOD IDEA????
You could've seen that train wreck coming miles away ....
Bake
Blue_Tires
(55,445 posts)1. Keep all petty arguments in ONE thread...Even if it takes 2000+ posts to resolve. Stop the making of fresh threads to continue the same stuff because it just adds useless clutter...
2. Only the parties with personal stakes in the argument will be allowed to post...No more piling on, no getting 20 friends in the thread to defend your reputation when they don't even know the whole issue...
3. For the love of god, STOP ALERTING ON POSTS IN META! One of the reasons why I rarely do jury service now is when someone does it in meta for no reason other than wanting to be a jerk, I've got to read hundreds of posts of backstory just to properly place the context of the alerted comment...So eventually it got to the point where I was just letting everything in meta stand, because on a personal level, I believe meta should be the ONE place where you can voice your concerns without fear of alert -- Let the mods and admins deal directly with offending posts...
4. When an argument is over, it's OVER... No vendettas, grudges, revenge plots, etc. The pissed off parties can either learn to DU in harmony or find some other forum to troll each other...
LiberalEsto
(22,845 posts)should be printed at the top of Meta in 48 point type.
It also needs a glossary on words and terms such as over, vendetta, grudge and revenge plot.
I never looked at Meta until this HH issue, and I would prefer never to step in it again.

(33,688 posts)an AK-47, endless ammo, and an infinite number of stink grenades.
Things calmed down for quite a while after She Who Must Not Be Named was unceremoniously tombstoned personally by Skinner early last summer, but The Usual Suspects have once again ratcheted up their outrage and turned that forum into St. Loony up the Cream Bun and Jam but with TOW missiles. The periodic purges instigated by TUS would make Uncle Joe Stalin smile and nod. The brave rear guard actions fought by some of the sane people over there (Hey, Warren deM and others) should simply should not have to be fought again, and again, and again. Fk it, I will head over to Equestria Daily and be happy rather than dive into that lagoon of swine excrement again. At least for a while, perhaps for a very long while.

(33,688 posts)over there to calm the place down. She knows some pretty darn powerful magic, though it might not work on Metizens. I've seen her use it on Nightmare Moon and Discord, but I'm not sure if Pony magic works on t-r-o-l-l-s.
I don't remember Sweetie Belle usually being that hyper.
