Fair enough, but this still means you're misinterpreting Thrawn.

If by that you mean Thrawn's post is mostly sarcastic, specifically

I think Jon`C is actually a group of users who create posts by consensus and then have the grumpiest guy type them in.


Then yeah I can see how it comes across as that (a misinterpretation).

It's all the negative posts that have an actual negative meaning behind them. Not just simple quirks or sarcastic chirps that have actual humor/aren't meant out of actual hate. i.e pretty much pages 2 and 3.

The reason for my comments about what is going on in this thread is that it seems to be a trend lately around Massassi to trash talk other members of the community. I don't know how many times I've skimmed through a thread and seen people arguing, outright fighting, or having some degree of bad words to say about someone or something someone posts. Massassi used to be a place for civilized debates/discussion and now it seems like you're always treading on egg shells because someone is bound to get upset, sometimes over something as simple as the fact that you may have a difference in opinion. A thread with contents like this one only furthers my viewpoint.

It's not specific, this thread started out light-hearted. Enter Sarn_Cadrill with bitter remarks and his subsequent displays of aptitude-tested intelligence, and you have the rest of the thread.

Yeah, pretty much. I think everyone was pretty much in agreement with Kroko's very reasonable opinion of Jon. But then Sarn posted, and everyone went, "wait, what the ****?" and the discussion immediately shifted to that.

Also, if you think Massassi is becoming 4chan, you've never really been to 4chan.

Cool Matty: Yet you have never been there. You have not seen what it has become. I am dying, Temperamental. When a man sees his end... he wants to know there was some purpose to his life. How will the world speak my name in years to come? Will I be known as the philosopher? The warrior? The tyrant...? Or will I be the admin who gave Massassi back her true self? There was once a dream that was Massassi. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... it was so fragile. And I fear that it will not survive the winter.

I believe Antony to be a non-sucky man in a way. Think of him as the movie Under Siege: it's good, but only because Steven Seagal is in it, so the bar is set lower than if you go to a limboing party for CarpKing's girlfriends. If it had someone like Sean Penn in the lead, people would go "Oh that's that bad Sean Penn movie".

But tofu...he just sucks and that's it.

So what you're saying is that Antony doesn't suck, because he's had Steven Seagal in him?
nope.

I think he is saying that we all should have really low expectations for you, so when you do something that isn't terrible, that's pretty much all we can hope for.

By the way, Wookie, I have to disagree, I don't really consider anything Jon'C does to be anything you could describe as "indoctrination". That sort of requires hard authority and statements of fact that deny all other possibilities. Jon'C has soft authority, which is to say that his authority is derived from knowledge and esteem of the community, rather than, say, violence, economic force, and jail. Also, he may make statements of fact, but he rarely denies all other possibilities, he just usually evaluates and dismisses them. Do we all disagree at times, yes, and definitely he's like a mule when it comes to changing his mind, but it's not like he doesn't think about other possibilities.

And in the spirit of the thread, I think he is part a secret government program that monitors the intelligence, knowledge, and views of the population. Operatives are placed in every community to lead on debates and push and pull ideas to find out what and how each member of the community thinks, and this information is reported and collated into regional and demographical reports which are evaluated by TOP men.

Jon'C did something that made one of his superiors develop a grudge against him, perhaps he slept with his wife or corrected him in a meeting. For this reason he was reassigned to the worst group an agent can be a part of: the internet communities division. Not only that but his reassignment came with a special note attached which indicated that he should be placed with the smallest and least influential community that the division actually monitored, and therefore he was placed with us. This career-destroying assignment is why he acts the way he does, and why he never leaves.

ALSO if anyone wants to help me write a thriller about this Jon'C I am totally into that, I think it could be pretty good. You're welcome for the idea.

I agree but the effect is similar. It's amazing how people pine and hang on his every word but I witnessed him manipulate a similar situation with a completely bogus argument and he had this one kid just eating out of the palm of his hand. It was amazing to see and a strange phenomenon but exactly a result of points you made above.
