It was kinda fun to pretend for the first few years of the board when "Cecil" would occasionally show up. People competed to have him show up. |
Yeah I remember that. But this:

Ed, not getting the concept of "marketing opportunity" responded to the demand for "Cecil" to post, largely retired "Cecil" because "fuck the customers".
|
is precisely the summary of the Ed approach to the boards. He liked writing columns I suppose, but isn't into being an actor, playing a role directly. Maybe he got to hate the part.

For something that would have taken nearly no time to do, he really fucked that opportunity for community and goodwill up.
|
Of course and then came the clumsy, ham-handed Barn House where he didn't even play the vague potential there - he could have openly played the Cecil author card - dropping the thread-bare pretence to tie up his book to Cecil-dom with at least a wink. But nope.
-- wasn't Barn house also during pay to post too by the way?

I wouldn’t mind a Reddit, but I do not like Facebook largely for privacy reasons |
Yeah, although I find Reddit structure too annoying.

Bah - it's a service, and it's free. It's not evil. Use it wisely and it's a great family and kinda-friends keep-up tool, for free. Nothing wrong with that.

Tedious asshole would be right.
