I am fairly hostile toward "community" matters Larry Send a noteboard - 08/07/2012 08:38:16 PM
i must say i was annoyed at the barrage of chat notifications that popped up. seriously why?

we have RAFO, stop trying to raise a zombie

Honestly, you would have to ask the person who set up the FB group, which was not me. I am just taking the heat for trying to let any RAFOlk otherwise unaware of the FB group know it exists so they can participate IF they want. Geez, you people sound like the Republicans talking about "Obama is making everyone get health insurance111" There is not even a tax penalty for non-participation here; anyone who wants to leave the FB group is free and welcome to do so. I can see the point of people who do not want to be dragged in unnotified, true; I guess folks should have just messaged their wotmaniac contacts (sorry.)

Some would also note that FB, unlike RAFO, has a chat. Incidentally, if the latter is bothersome, one can disable it or turn off its sound effects.


Mike Mackert could have posted this and pretty much the same comments by myself and others would have been made.

But don't worry, if I find your political comments to be asinine, I will continue to state so in no uncertain terms. ><img class=' />

Well, despite having suggested it to him, I admit to reservations about Mike visiting RAFO. wotmaniac kumbaya-choruses are far less frequent than even five years ago, let alone in tales I have heard of the glory days. I like ya'll, but wotmaniac camaraderie is not what it once was, which does not encourage anyone to visit or post. In a years time, with AMoL old news, RAFOs BMB may need YOU to take it in over at The OF Blog (whether they will ask I cannot say; again, wotmaniac camaraderie is not what it once was. ;))


I don't think the OF Blog would be a suitable locale, considering that I've largely stopped covering anything related to fantasy/SF. ;)

Yeah, So There Is a wotmania Facebook Group Now Joel - 07/07/2012 06:14:02 AM 2351 Views
Plus its a chat service that doesn't require any additional software or logins. Stephen - 07/07/2012 11:41:05 AM 788 Views
Meh, I still prefer Skype. Joel - 07/07/2012 12:13:42 PM 898 Views
Liar and Deceiver! 100+ people did not "join", they were merely invited! TaskmasterJack - 07/07/2012 06:29:16 PM 870 Views
Yeah. Nate - 07/07/2012 06:41:27 PM 818 Views

Eh, self-deprecation just isn't valued enough around these parts! Larry - 08/07/2012 05:51:11 AM 911 Views
Merely ignorant of FB operations (and, geez, guys; you act like I barbecued your dog.) Joel - 07/07/2012 09:13:02 PM 922 Views
Rawr! I'm an ogre! I've got layers like an onion! Get out of my swamp! *NM* TaskmasterJack - 10/07/2012 12:35:16 AM 419 Views
Please start "Child Molesters of the Taliban" Tom - 08/07/2012 02:08:31 AM 773 Views
It's tempting. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 10/07/2012 12:35:37 AM 367 Views
i didn't see that, where is it? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/07/2012 03:06:19 PM 481 Views
At the top of the page, underneath the photographs of people who "joined"... Rebekah - 08/07/2012 04:43:12 PM 700 Views
And you can all go fuck yourselves. Tom - 08/07/2012 04:42:58 AM 821 Views
Well, I CAN, but am married now, so there is less motivation to do so. Joel - 08/07/2012 05:17:44 AM 879 Views
if you think that's bad Yunalesca - 08/07/2012 03:11:18 PM 911 Views
why? what's the point? Yunalesca - 08/07/2012 03:05:27 PM 850 Views
Presumably, because many wotmaniacs are on FB but not RAFO. Joel - 08/07/2012 03:49:05 PM 793 Views
Actually, for once you aren't the center of the roasting, Joel Larry - 08/07/2012 07:15:13 PM 873 Views
No, just the RAFO messenger, which is apparently bad enough. Joel - 08/07/2012 07:51:33 PM 830 Views
I am fairly hostile toward "community" matters Larry - 08/07/2012 08:38:16 PM 809 Views
Apparently you are in good company there. Joel - 08/07/2012 09:11:22 PM 761 Views
Ya know Joel... Isaac - 08/07/2012 07:21:23 PM 721 Views
It was just a timely analogy. Joel - 08/07/2012 07:40:26 PM 918 Views
Of course it was, it's Timely for you because it's always on your mind Isaac - 08/07/2012 08:07:18 PM 822 Views
That was what I said, yes. Joel - 08/07/2012 08:26:34 PM 781 Views

It was an analogy, for Petes sake. Joel - 08/07/2012 08:24:58 PM 747 Views
Not everything requires an analogy... *NM* Stephen - 08/07/2012 09:48:51 PM 395 Views
True, but when people miss the point a little illustration can be helpful. Joel - 09/07/2012 03:20:02 AM 739 Views
Preach it. *NM* Rebekah - 08/07/2012 04:42:13 PM 419 Views

Ironically, my perpetually weird hours mean I usually find myself involved in Stateside discussions. Joel - 08/07/2012 09:07:41 PM 884 Views
So yeah, I don't think I'm going to participate in the group at all. Stephen - 08/07/2012 09:44:40 PM 758 Views
I couldn't figure out how to disable the chat from regular fb chat. Lici - 08/07/2012 10:00:00 PM 869 Views
I figured it out. Stephen - 08/07/2012 10:47:03 PM 754 Views
I use that to exclude everyone from seeing my online/offline status Larry - 08/07/2012 11:13:51 PM 782 Views
Cool. Joel - 09/07/2012 03:15:45 AM 793 Views
