In Praise of Josh Timonen

[Feck]

He's a cunt-and I never use that word in company.

Please don't use that word .. not only do we have a member called Cunt but we like cunts here .

I have a lot more time for arseholes than I do for Josh at the moment

I haven't followed everything that has gone on.. what exactly did Josh do?

Backstabbed the mods, deleted their accounts, shut down private messaging, changed the status to read-only, and acted in an extremely imprudent manner, from what I can surmise.

Has anyone seen that Doctor Who episode with the Sontarans? I just get an image of that short American bloke who starts crying when everyone tells him his plans are stupid and then walks out while he's threatening them. This fella:

Deserves to be pushed out into the public arena somehow.

He has control of it technically, so while the decision to change the format was presumably a group decision (not including any of the people who actually use the forum, of course), the way it was handled was Josh's responsibility, as was the way any dissenting voices were dealt with.

I still can't believe Richard Dawkin's hasn't publicly condemned the rough handling of his community. Either he's fallen prey to religion or we're "a different type of people"

Excellent work as usual, dear.

Josh has probably characterized us to Richard as a few malcontents.

Last time this happened with OT Richard called us all "petulant children" so I have no doubt he thinks that it's 'only' that again...
